On the busier roads near home, when somebody does that it normally turns out to be young lads in a hatchback, who seem to think they've just invented a huge joke. On the quiet roads in West Berkshire, it always seemed to be an elderly couple in a small family car.
I am pretty sure that they were sounding the horn to let me know that they were behind me. What they obviously don't realise is that on a quiet country lane, a cyclist can hear a car coming from a long way back, and I was probably aware that they were there long before they knew I was there.
In any case, I put it down to some considerate, but rather unneccesary behaviour. On the other hand, perhaps I have been misjudging those thoughtful young lads in hatchbacks, kindly looking out for the well-being of a grey-haired cyclist.

Or indeed, you've misjudged the elderly hoons out hellraising, trying to put the willies up the defenceless cyclist...
