I feel your pain. I would hazard a guess you live somewhere suburban or use a busy rural A/B road somewhere, perhaps?
I use the OKR many days, though I always profess to try to avoid it. I have found that a LOT of inner London drivers seem more tolerant and, in the main, a lot less dangerous to be around than many outer London, suburban and small town drivers. That could be rubbish, but the sheer weight of numbers in London could surely be having a beneficial effect on the willywaving close-pass driver types.

To see just how tolerant they are, just try doing the same commute on a Saturday or Sunday morning.
You'll find that, of the weekend drivers, no-one knows where they're going, no-one knows which lane to be in, no-one knows that being an impatient arse doesn't really get you anywhere, etc.

You guess correctly. Not a long commute, but most of it's on a 60mph A road, however hardly any of it is really narrow. There's always space to overtake safely. Which just galls me further when I get close passes. Perhaps drivers are just a bit more shite out here in the 'burbs.
Anyways, I'm well over it now and the commute home was an exercise in not getting blown over. So didn't have much time to worry about what anyone else was doing.
Wish I could join you both in happy land. This am was pretty bad for stupid close passes at 40-60mph (Them not me) on roads that were plenty wide enough to give me more than 2 foot. I effing c'ed rather a lot, not that it did me any good or was even heard.
