Considering I have been passed at over 60 mph with inches to spare, I can say that I would much rather have a courteous driver wait to pass me when it is safe and only when it is safe.
And everyone else seems to think I am condoning illegal activities by cyclists. I only ever ride single file. I do take the lane. I have as much right to it as the next guy AND it keeps me safe in the conditions that I typically ride in. YMMV.
