True, but once you get back into your safety shell it's easy to forget
Guilt by association and section 59 tickets

Are you not more aware of bikes even in your car?
I will often be in a queue of cars and see bike/s hopping in my mirrors, I will always move to the kerb side so they can pass.

In general yes, I'm just saying it's easy to fall back into car driver mode

IANAL and all those other disclaimers but....
Can you challenge a Section 59 at the time and require them to show evidence that you meet the criteria, especially if you are assisting a motorist in distress? If you refuse to accept the warning can you force their hand to try a different tack? If you are confident your actions are innocent then if they try to issue one then surely is harassment ie
(1)A person must not pursue a course of conduct—
(a)which amounts to harassment of another, and
(b)which he knows or ought to know amounts to harassment of the other.
The fact that a Section 59 cannot be appealed after issue will be known to the officer(s) which would fit the definition of harassment

He wouldn't have been in distress if he wasn't an idiot.

Try it and let us know how it goes
This would not be harassment. A police force would not record or investigate it as such. However, it could be dealt with as a complaint. That in itself would be a separate matter to the section 59 but the issuing of the warning would be looked into as part of the complaint.
Oh, oh, please sir… can we issue section 59’s to EVERY
And every Prius. (See above)
