Far enough not to be a concern. May 50m further on and there's a young one crossing, slight limp but not too bad, however enough to slow it down. There's a car catching me (I'm doing about 25, and pretty sure he's only doing about 30). I hold out a hand to get him to hold back, because I think I might catch up with the wee kit, so figure if he goes past me he definitely will.</p> <p>As it happens the kit picks up the pace, goes into a driveway. I give the driver the thumbs up, and just in case he didn't see why I was indicating I point down the driveway as I pass so he can look and see the kit who is still there.</p> <p>Get stopped at the next lights and I give the driver a wave of thanks, and he gives me a wave back. </p> <p>People treating foxes well, having respect for them, and drivers and cyclists getting on, the Daily Mail's worst nightmare. </p>
