My "run-in" with the MP this Summer was also about the 150ft rule, but he handled it beautifully.
It was in Alton bay, I was heading out (with my 3 kids in the bow), and he was heading in.

He had to have a bearing in my direction to get around the marker, so I had a bearing heading away from him as a result.

At the point we passed, we were probably within 150ft, and I was going slightly more than headway.

But because he could see I had changed course, and had slowed considerably, all he did was toot the horn, and make arm gestures that I should slow down.

Well handled, I thought. He got the message across, but didn't make a big stink.
