I did wonder whether the flag would have much impact, and if that impact would be positive. Tbh, I'm pretty sure the only reason it has reduced close passes is because it's a physical object and most car drivers would be more worried about damaging their cars than they would be keen to punishment pass a cyclist. I have thought about tipping it with a spiky spike just to ensure that anyone who does come too close ends up with a lovely scratch in their paintwork as a reward, but that's probs going a little bit too far down vindictive street.
