I noticed this rule today which is part of 167 (http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/TravelAndTransport/Highwaycode/DG_070314)
167
DO NOT overtake where you might come into conflict with other road users. For example
...
# stay behind if you are following a cyclist approaching a roundabout or junction, and you intend to turn left
How often does this annoying behaviour happen to you per day?

Now the warm weather is coming, and drivers are starting to open their windows, I am considering having a few copies of the HC in my back pocket to post in on drivers who demonstrate ignorance and incompetence.

Make the rule 167 into paper planes and wear them like a gun belt.

Ah, quoting the Highway Code to drivers. The best way to declare yourself a whiney nebbish, bar none.
Drivers believe six impossible things break six rules before breakfast, what makes you think a rules violation will matter to them?

If you attach the copy of the Highway Code to a brick, then chuch it through their window (open or closed is irrelevant), they might just take some notice... ;)

Perhaps if I doused my HCs in petrol, set them alight, then put them through the window, do you think they would take notice? After all, they seem happy to flick red-hot fag ash at me...

You would think Vorsprung's example is redundant, as it is covered by Section A:
Don't drive like a cock.

I rather feel that is a distillation of the whole work, and understanding of what will now become known throughout the ether as Mattc's Law would solve all our problems.

Just install photocopies of the relevant pages in the hollow points of the rounds in your handlebar mounted machine gun(s).

I find the miscreants don't stay ahead long enough to get a bead. Generally, they get stuck in a queue & I go past :smug:

It sounds to me like you need a tail end charlie. That would also be a reason to justify a CTCish yet useful wing mirror on your bike.

Tailgunner. Suddenly, stoker is cool. 8)

Then you need one of those back to back recumbent tandems; where the pilot has the handlebars, the tailgunner has their gun mount.
It may induce motorists to leave a little more clearance on overtakes.

I've often fantasized about making up a mock set of tailguns mounted on a rear rack, motorized and connected to a PIR detector so that they motion track, or appear to....

Or gay.

Carve "167" into the motorist's forehead like Christopher Waltz.
