What do folks think of this as a non-confrontational idea that could, over time, reduce close passes:
Produce and distribute, via this forum and others, rear window stickers (or bumper stickers) that say just:
I think the key is getting enough copies of the plain, unadorned "HC Rule 163" text out there and seen by motorists- before anyone realises it's a cycling thang.
Of course I wouldn't encourage it as graffiti.... but I wouldnt go round rubbing it off either.
OK so it's not going to eliminate close passes.....but it might help to make some motorists think twice before overtaking.

No logos, no identifying it as a cycling thing.
Cyclists being passed by a vehicle carrying such a sticker would be able to acknowledge it as a "friendly".
After a year or so .... open a website that explains it, for those motorists dim enough not to Google it, and maybe sell jerseys with a "back-view" of this?I think the key is getting enough copies of the plain, unadorned "HC Rule 163" text out there and seen by motorists- before anyone realises it's a cycling thang.
