You mean the ones who have the good sense to realise that most motorists don't pay enough attention, that many motorists think they have right of way because they have to pay "Road Tax" (see elsewhere) to "use the road" (they don't) and that want every possible advantage to keep themselves alive because in an argument between 100KG of cycle and rider and 1 Tonne of car, *they* are going to come off the worst?

Interesting expression "no *apparent* reason".
Whilst I don't support that sort of behaviour, do *you* really know that there was *no* reason at all? I doubt it.
