difficult without seeing where you mean.
its not always poss to make eye contact.like, er most of winter dark.
good advice above, Im guessing the gradient makes it harder because speeds higher. if it is a double carriageway easier because you can travel at speed whilst traffic maintains theirs undertaking you. guessing its single lane.
best way is to just make that move across earlier, maintaining speed, whilst regularly checking over shoulder-if that means that you slow the traffic stream behind you so be it-you have the rights of any other vehicle and if it were a car they would all slow to a stop to allow the vehicle to turn.so fuck em.politely they can wait a minute.
