Road bullying
Kim:
Not sure there's a real change in genuine bullying behaviour, but impatience levels seem to be increasing...
Canardly:
Just wait until additional speed limits are imposed to limit fuel demand. That will really piss them off.
rogerzilla:
The new HC rules have militated the Mr Toads.
JellyLegs:
A long ride yesterday, mainly rural but with some busier roads and larger town sections was one of my most pleasant ever when measured by the behaviour of other drivers. I didn’t experience a single close pass of note or any bullying when it came to passing through narrow sections. I even remember a number of vehicles waiting patiently for a safe opportunity to pass whilst I ground my way up a few hills at what felt like 0kph. Was this just a fluke or is the new HC beginning to bed in?
On a less positive note, shame the last 10km in the dark was plagued by a procession of car drivers who had no intention of dimming their retina-burning headlights or perhaps no idea they were on full beam.

I made a similar comment, can't remember where. It was commented that a lot of folks now have auto-dip and it's possible (how do we check?) that auto-dim fails to pick up on bike lights.
