Will admit I was initially tempted to dismiss the idea of already being on 119 out of hand, since a driver doing such would have had to cross the entering traffic from 63 to reach the shoulder.
Though on second thought, it does raise an interesting possibility - if someone did feel a need to pull over, and was driving along most looking in their mirror or over their shoulder for the merging traffic they'd have to cross, they might not be paying as much attention ahead as appropriate.
One of the big risks for cyclists is that while a car looms in peripheral vision, a cyclist doesn't.
