This may or may not have been concern about their paintwork . I assumed not and always waved acknowledgement. Only once in 22 consecutive years of commuting did anyone deliberately close the gap
Hooray for Leeds drivers! Here I get about 3 people a day giving me more space when they see me, and 1 closing the gap on purpose. I don't know why they want the paint chipped on their mirror...
