Usual "let's squeeze you" close pass this morning. Finely tuned UK hazard instinct calculating car distance via sound of it coming behind me predicted it. So I pulled closer to parked cars to give me 2ish feet to make it less scary.
Slow clap. Just cos there was a parked car and a traffic island and they could not wait a whole 5 seconds.
Further down the road some excellent driving with a motorist resisting the "let's pull out cos I can" urge and actually saw me/waited for me.
I find that on quiet Belfast paths loud tongue clicking works if the bell dinging doesn't register.
