A car is coming towards me on the other side of the road. It's a narrow road (or there are cars parked along it making it narrow). I'm on a bike.
You're approaching me from behind in a car. Do you:
a) touch the brake so the other car can get by before you pass me
b) maintain your speed and cross the centre line causing the approaching car to brake
c) hold your course and speed and hope for the best.
Thank you to the 19/20 car drivers in Christchurch, NZ, that choose (a).
