Oncoming bus overtakers

[Drago]

Indeed. As you know I'm a big advocate of avoiding trouble and in the event thickish car drive didn't take the hint I wouldn't hang about to have a discussion.

However, thus far in this scenario no one has for me.

You mean Right of Way as in a road, track or other route along which a person or vehicle is permitted to pass? Yup.

Unfortunately this happens all to often for me aswell on my way to and from work. I just wait, there is nothing you can say or do without putting yourself in danger.

I would just continue riding if I knew that it was possible for the person to clearly see me. If their view was obstructed though, I would stop and wait.

"Study traffic and read the road" and give way if you are going to be in danger. Thats what a mature motorcyclist told me to do 30yrs ago who trained me well back then and which I have passed it on in my cycling. Its bad enough in a tin box but on two wheels it would be like an egg to a mallet. Haughty behaviour on both sides spell conflict.
I get nervous if an artic wagon is behind me on a busy narrow road, on occasions where I hold that type of vehicle up I wave the person on and pull over. I prefer to see the back of his vehicle than hear air brakes behind me......

Any advice?

Sorry - none, beyond do whatever to keep safe. It once meant me landing a tandem (upright and unhurt, bike and riders) in a roadside ditch. Only time I've truly "piloted" a tandem.

It's not a situation you can win - and the thick *******s who pull it on you know it full well. They do it all the time to other drivers, so cyclists are easy-peasy.
