Think bike stickers in cars, what do you think?

[Steve R1]

I must admit I like seeing the think bike stickers in cars, I always acknowledge the driver, by raising my hand when I'm on my bike as I presume that they are either a biker, a relative of a biker or a bike friendly driver.

I also have a think bike sticker in my car, and like it on the odd occasion when a fellow biker acknowledges me.

Do you acknowledge drivers with think bike stickers, or have I gone mad and lost the plot.

yep me to steve I also have 2 on my rear screen (well not at the moment coz just had a new one fitted under warranty and they've fooked it up so another will be going on) and if on the bike I always put a thumb up to the drivers who have them

I have noticed that the majority of cars I come across that have anything bike related in the rear window are more alert to bikes behind them and react sooner.
I don`t have a think bike sticker so I have to put up with seeing the sbf website sticker everytime I look in the mirror

be quick as the Dft have made massive cuts in road safety so it's possiblw that when they're they're gone.

many road safety Partnerships will send them to you. if you join 'Glos Thinkbike' on facebook and ask you can get em there too

Had one on the back window for years as well as the superbikeforum one and a i wish i was on my motorbike rather than be stuck in this traffic.don't think any biker as ever waved at me though   even though i always look out for them and make big gaps/move over for them

Does anybody worry that if you have a superbike sticker in your car potential thieves know there is probably a fast bike in the garage?

Not really, lots of ex bikers and family show these stickers too, taken the NoLimits one off the bumper though.
Albeit IMO some of the van's I've seen at TD's and privateer racing, plastered in "sponsors" stickers are shouting out. Come home and rob me

Anything to promote respect for riders is good isn't it.
I don't have one in my window but that's really because its quite big and my rear window is small.
I know my mate has one in her car, I'll ask if she gets a nod from bikers.

Also, I've been impressed by the motorway signs often displaying think bike on their signs if there is no incident to display.

thats something KillSpills asked the PM to do a few years back, at the time the DfT said the usual, we have to go through procedures, but it appeared in the end. I would like to think we had a part to play in that, as we did make the suggestion, but who knows.

I can get some stickers from Lancs road safety partnership for those that want them, just PM me with your address
