Pottinger's law: If you are driving along a 5 km long straight stretch of road with no traffic whatsoever apart from one cyclist on your side, 2 1/2 km in front of you, it is 100% certain that a motorist coming the other way, whom you can't see yet, will force you to draw up behind the cyclist to let the motorist by. Pottinger died of a heart attack when he was only 28. He was balding at the time, his teeth were suspect and his wife despised him, so it was just as well.
