My post reflected the fact that whilst I certainly won't be obstructive, I don't think it's right or appropriate to automatically move over to let them pass as I see so many doing.
Why not if there is space to do it safely ? I find it very frustrating when on a road almost wide enough for two lanes in each direction all the cars queue close to the dotted white dividing line. If the drivers kept further left it would facilitate motorcyclists overtaking safely.
Doesn't Roadcraft say something about positioning the car in queues of traffic, so you can take views down either side alternately? That would be why they don't keep out of the 'cycles way perhaps. Of course, leaving a gap 'cycles can take refuge in is also mentioned.
