Artist and Cyclist Peter Miller has come up with a unique way to inform ignorant motorists that their driving maybe unsafe to others on the road. Especially cyclists. Simply it is a magnet backed sticker with the following text: "This magnet was tossed onto your car by a cyclist who felt that you might have been driving in a way that could have endangered their life. They chose to toss this magnetic note because it can neither damage your automobile, nor affix itself to rubber or glass and will therefore not affect your driving. It serves to warn you. With thoughtful contemplation and reverence for humanity, we can adjust our behavior to allow for all people to live life. This is a yellow card, let’s please not let things get to Red." This idea is "open source" meaning that you can produce it here in the Philippines if you so choose. www.petermiller.info/yellowcard.html

this one's good... but there should be a version for drivers who cannot understand what the card says...

Right. Just flick a finger at them. If they chase you, consider it good interval training.

Haha, I think the point other than to express our displeasure is to let people know that cyclists do have rights and what they are doing is potentially dangerous.
I bet alot of drivers do not respect cyclists and our right to be on the road. I know I was probably guilty of a few trangressions myself before I became I biker.

Why not try a bond paper sized yellow sticker instead, for those hard headed drivers, magnets are a bit pricey.

Only thing is, some might stick it for no reason at all. yellow colored paint bomb will not be a good idea also he he he ;D ;D ;D ... ooops, sorry for the OT.
I think this yellow card thing works only on open minded people like us.
