So today I was riding through roadworks and I had two close overtakes (too close!) with there only being room for one car width really because the road is coned. These road works have been there for ages and sometimes, if there is not too much gravel or road furniture on the inside of the cones, I do ride on the inside. So I was just contemplating going on the inside of the cones for my own safety when, yet again, another blast on the horn from an impatient driver wanting to get past (I wouldn't mind but it's a slight downhill stretch and I'm doing about 23mph so I'm not really holding them up).
So I looked behind and he was about 6 inches off my back wheel. No room at all to overtake unless he was planning on ramming me into the cones. So I decided on this occasion, although there was no road furniture on the inside of the cones, that it is still unlawful for me to be in them and, as such, I adjusted my road position ... so that I sat my slow ass in front of his big fast car... all the way through the road works :)
Then I gave him a cheery wave goodbye (of the two finger variety) as he drove off in a huff at the end, much to the amusement of two pedestrians.
