Helpful drivers

We all like considerate drivers letting us pass by moving over but what if you don't want to?
The other day I was comfortably riding behind a van and the driver was in the gutter to allow me to pass. I didn't want to pass as we were already doing the speed limit, it was a built up area and there was a sharp bend coming up. I wasn't close but dropped back further to show I had no intention to overtake. He then started waving me to pass so I put my hand up and shook my head.
He responded by giving me the finger!
It turns out I was the bad guy...😂

I've had several similar encounters. I s'pose they just don't like a m/c behind them.

One had his n/s wheels in a very dusty / gritty road edge. Sprayed me with krap.

I have had the same, i know they are trying to help but when you get a face of grit and dust - Not great...

when driving the car the only time I move over for a bike is in traffic. We all know that if a bike (us) want to over take, we can and we will.
I don't "drive" for anyone as it can be problematic.
