Vehicles travelling in the opposite direction will never stop. Scenario, country A roads, favourite haunts for cyclists all over the UK, riding 2 or more abreast, often in groups and therefore fairly close to the white line given the distances they need between each other and the kerb, HGVs, buses, tractors, caravans etc. taking up most of the oncoming lane is the reality, they ain't going to stop and if the cyclists are concerned then they should ride single file or be the ones to stop.
There's not a hope in **** of me stopping though of course as always I would stay as near the kerb as is safe, stay well within the speed limits and observe what they're doing very carefully. Neither is there a hope in **** of me handing in my licence and I strongly suspect there will be very few drivers ever prosecuted for continuing their journey in the face of cyclists travelling in the opposite direction.
Responsible cyclists of which there are as many are not an issue, the others can be and MOTs for cycles and compulsory 3rd party insurance should be law
