Where is the "give" from the car driver? Not running the cyclist over?
Driving patiently and courteously around cyclists? It would be nice if all drivers heeded :
163 Overtake only when it is safe and legal to do so. You should
- give motorcyclists, cyclists and horse riders at least as much room as you would when overtaking a car (see Rules 211-215)
169 Do not hold up a long queue of traffic, especially if you are driving a large or slow-moving vehicle. Check your mirrors frequently, and if necessary, pull in where it is safe and let traffic pass.
Then everyone would be happy.
But in the example Mr Tinman commented on, there doesn't appear to be any "give" from the driver, just an attempt to pass the buck for their poor overtaking skills.
