I there really room for that and a respectable space between them and your offside?
Going single file requires a degree of understanding and cooperation in even a mini-peloton; touch wheels and it's a violent off. They don't know the driver coming the other way is going to be the reasonable Smokey.
Single up and entitled Chump then squeezes by without slacking from cruise speed.
