Yes. I've never been a kerb-hugger, but I have tried moving out even further. Unfortunately it seems that the type of driver in question is so adamant that they must get in front of me, they'll squeeze me even if I'm more than halfway across the lane and there is oncoming traffic.
I'm going to stick with the upping the authoritative tone of my signals/gestures/glances for now, plus 'switching' rather than drifting (well in advance) when I need to pass nearside obstacles.
Thanks for all the thread contributions. It's been quite thought-provoking/informative/edutaining/etc.
