It was a long time ago, but I'm sure when I learned to drive they told me
never to rely on the advice of other road users. Always decide for yourself whether it's safe to proceed. So if the motorist decided not to overtake that's their decision.
That doesn't stop me encouraging drivers to pass me (on a bicycle) when I can see it's safe. If they don't take the opportunity I have no problem cycling along at 10mph in front of them. It's their problem not mine. Moxt bikers have no problem overtaking a cyclist, so I just let them get on with and wince if they've got a really loud pipe on a crappy 125.
