Article explaining how drivers could learn from cyclists cues

Some time ago, someone posted a link to an interesting article about how drivers might benefit from observing cyclists cues about hanging back from obstructions, and explaining why cyclists 'took the lane', etc.

I'm pretty sure it was on a motoring website (I remember thinking it was a pretty enlightened article).

I thought I'd saved it, but I can't find it and my Google foo is weak tonight.

Does this ring a bell with anyone, and, if so, is your foo stronger than mine...?

Thanks.

Don't know the one you're looking for, but I think this is a great article for drivers and cyclists,

Interesting. It'd be nice if, when realising a driver at a junction hasn't seen you, saccadic masking or not, they would't then take your slowing down as an invitation to pull out

It is an interesting article, but not the one I was looking for.

Not quite as I remembered; I thought it included stuff about coasting to maintain distance to allow obstructions ahead to clear, to save energy.

Thanks; I had to remove the bloody google search prefix from the front, and tested it in a browser that obviously doesn't need the http:// prefix that UKC seems to need to recognise a URL.
