SD's earlier comments seem to show an attitude common to many motorists. Not very advanced at all.

I kind of prefer cyclists riding in blocks over riding in single file, mainly because I always go fully on to the right in order to pass them, regardless of where they are in the left lane. This means when they're in a block, I only have to worry about overtaking something that's about a metre long at the most, but when they're riding in single file, the distance I've got to be on the other side of the road for is much longer, meaning opportunities for overtaking are much less common.
However, the best case would be one where the cyclists are riding in single file with about 4 car lengths between each of them. That means I can overtake one at a time much more safely than overtaking 3 in a line, or 3 in a block.

To make sure you've not been infected by Silk, what in particular do you object to?
