During the week i helped provide support for BigMacs charity cycle ride around the new forest. There were 11 cyclists and 3 motorbikes including mine. I positioned myself behind the lead group of cyclists and further towards the middle of the road actively preventing cars/vans/etc trying to get past where it was not safe to do so and moving out the way, waving things past when it was safe to do so.
99% of traffic was fine with this, these were generally 40mph roads with the cyclists doing 20mph on the flat. Only one vehicle caused a problem which was an impatient w@nker in a campervan who passed within 6 inches of my handlebars and then cut in very close to the lead tandem cyclist on a right hand bend. Needless to say i did go past and explained the error of his ways. Shame i didnt have the go-pro on my bike on that lap or he would have been reported too.
