Just a thought...

[Randyransford91]

It was my grandmas funeral today (may she rest in peace). Upon following the hearse to the church I did notice a few people remove hats as a mark of respect. Even had a police biker salute as he rode pass. Just wondering if any of you guys do it on here?

I do

[ha_x3]

Not that i wear hats, but if i did then yes, as a sign of respect

You should always take your hat off if wearing one as a sign of respect.

I didn't know that rule.. I will follow it!

I never overtake hurses though, bad luck + disrespectful.

R.I.P to your Grandma!

Grandmas are the best people in the world IMO.

I'll be honest, I don't. Purely because I'd never thought of it before.

A good friend of mine decided to end his life a couple of years ago. The council closed the local skatepark (He was a popular skater there) for two days and allowed people to graffiti on his memory. Even to this day when they pressure wash the park, the graffiti in his name is never touched by them.

I'll always kill the revs too and turn my radio off.

People who wear hats - you should also remove them indoors, that's another sign of respect that people seem to have forgotten lately.

There not just taking a hat off. There were people that crossed their hearts and stopped what they were doing and that. I never overtake them we had a van that tried and ended up splitting the convoy up with the hearse (I hope he rots in hell!).

How rude

[Randyransford91]

For the sake of an extra 5min journey time? What a wanker!

[Manu]

5 minutes? more like 5 seconds, what a twat

I tell you something that it 100000 times worse than that..

Cunts who destroy gravestones and vandal graveyards.

Absolute tossers.

Cant say I take a hat off tbh, but not really walking about alot when I see them, usually drive by them and dip the clutch to quieten the car though.

It's the little things like that, that count

This was years ago at a funeral I went to when I was about 15 I noticed people doing it as well. I've been doing it since. It's nice to think some random strangers show their respects still.

If we're out with the horses, and we pass a funeral procession it IS proper ettiquite to remove your hat and hold it to your chest and bow your head, but that was more for when they used to wear top hats / bowlers. Now we all wear proper harnassed helmets, it's correct to bow your head and touch the peak of your hat.

TBH, somem of us nod and touch our hats even if another road user has slown down to pass us. it's just respectful.

In the car, slow right down, music off, and a nod of the head.

It's nice to know we still have some respect today.

I was always told this. Why is it a sign of respect to take a hat off indoors? If I want to wear a hat I'll wear it for the whole day, not just when I'm outside. I don't see how it's disrespectful to anyone.
