Good points, but the drivers I worry about are not the ones who wait, either patiently or impatiently, for a signal. I am more than happy to wave them by. Out here in the country pretty much everybody waves at everybody anyway. It's the ones who decide at a distance it's okay to speed up and hurry around (in spite of oncoming traffic and precious little room to spare) who worry me, risking my life to save themselves a few lousy seconds. Fortunately those are few. I live in an area near a major university (about twelve miles from Athens, GA) where cycling is common and seems to be on the increase. I think awareness of cyclists and courtesy from motorists has improved here over the last few years.
