How do people handle the lack of noise from the car when coming up behind pedestrians, cyclists etc. I hold back and go really slowly until I am confident there is more than enough room to pass. But pretty often said cyclist or pedestrian has no idea I am there and so will continue in the middle of the road.
I have been wondering if I should use the horn to let them know there is a car there, BUT beeping someone in the UK is seen more of an aggressive act than a simple "hey be careful there's someone behind you". So the last thing I was is to provoke an aggressive reaction from someone I am trying to help.
Not looking on this becoming an cyclist vs car thread but rather how us as those in control of something that can injure or kill people can best protect those who may be unaware of us
