Immediately after having a car come far too close at speed (www.youtube.com/watch) I move into the centre of the lane to take control of it (as recommended by the Institute of Advanced Motorists).
Surprise, surprise, the road still has idiots on it. There's another 4-5 foot of road to the right which makes all the difference to me. Even just being as far over as the first car would make a difference, although making note of the extra bulk might be worhtwhile as well!
Again, breaking "Highway code rule 163".
