This guy did move over and gave a long honk as he passed, but it was close enough that I was checking how much room I had to my right. Would waving my left arm have helped? I had two red blinkies going (probably not much help during the day) and wearing a bright yellow/green jacket and riding near the right wheel track.
If you haven't already, you can mount a powerful light on your helmet and
as you look back - doing a check; you could light up the offender(I mean
motorist) directly in the face to get their attention.
