[QUOTE 4581466, member: 9609"]My tactic and it works well on quiet roads where you are only getting one car or wagon at a time, I take a particularity wide primary position, then move to the left just before the car starts to pass, so even if they were just going to give you a couple of foot, you now have four of five.[/QUOTE]
My tactic is similar but not! If my Spidey senses start tingling that somebody is about to make a stupid close pass on a narrow section of road or against oncoming traffic then I subtlety move slightly further out. This is a great tactic because without fail they will jam on the brakes and perform an emergency stop rather than risk damaging their beloved car against a cyclist or approaching car. Because I don't perceivably move they also question their judgement, because they could have sworn there was just enough room to squeeze through, but perhaps they are not such an ace driver after all?
It's all about psychology, but you do have to have balls of steel to do it!
