The cars and drivers most likely to cut me up when I'm cycling

It's the same every time - until the last time I guess.

I hear the engine noise fast approaching from behind, I see a car coming the other direction, I listen for the acceleration at my back to stop but it doesn't.

My body tenses, I steer a little closer to the edge, even though the road surface is less stable there, more likely to unsettle, even unseat me, and I grip a little tighter on the handlebars. Then a car speeds past me, I feel the rush of air, and watch as an oncoming vehicle is forced to almost do an emergency stop and veer to the very edge of the road or beyond to avoid a collision.
