Driving (sorry) to a meeting earlier on today, I came up behind a bloke on an MTB towing a trailer. On the back of the trailer was "BACK OFF" in fairly big red letters. Did strike me as potentially counter-productive. People who are going to be careful around cyclists anyway don't need telling to "back off" and those who are knobs at the wheel are likely to take a sign like that as an invitation to be more knobby. Personally, I couldn't see the point in having a sign - it comes over agressive and probably isn't going to achieve much... As an aside, he demonstrated his courtesy on the road by cycling through a zebra crossing where an OAP was waiting on the near side to cross.
