I think people (drivers and other cyclists) expect folk on Bromptons to be going slow, and they drive/ride accordingly.
i think this is probably it. most drivers are fairly ignorant about bikes so they will see your brompton and think you'll be slow. hence they rus past before you pull out (not because they think you're narrower, although maybe this as a secondary).
