Hi Dan The Man! How's it jolly well going?

Strange. I've never come across a single driver who thinks that, and I can't recall seeing a driver overtake a cyclist without moving right except on wide or multi-lane roads where there's plenty of room. You wouldn't be maligning motorists just for the sake of it by any chance, would you? Are you doing it to get cred in uk.rec.anti-motorist?

All the vast majority of drivers want is for cyclists to cooperate and be reasonable and courteous. Thankfully, almost all of them are.
