34% will actually pull over a little to give you room..
and 1% will pull in to close the gap...WONT YA ! YA FUKIN WANKER ! and then spend the next 2 hours trying to retrieve his wing mirror VERY carefully ...from his arse !.....
When you stop in order to get 'back in line' so to speak is it best to wait for someone to let you in or do you nudge in gently? I have a 125cc engine so it's got a nice 'pull away' as it were, but I don't want to be discourteous to other drivers by just cutting in front. I saw some kid narrowly skim the front of a car the other day and it's little wonder other drivers get disgruntled.
