That's an interesting point and certainly has some credence to it I think, but definitely worthy of discussion.

The incident with the Corsa was truly bizarre and defies any kind of logical explanation for his actions.
Not really, he was a total nob — there's certainly no shortage of them about.

I try to avoid the centre of the lane too, way too much oil/coolant/nails/brick ends etc. especially at junctions or traffic lights.

The tyre tracks are likely to be the cleanest, but positioning is largely for vision purposes first, other things second.

Wear a white lid with your hi-vis and see if they still overtake.
