Yes, in a perfect, polite world, people would announce a pass and give plenty of room. The fact of the matter is, though, not everyone does. You can't control the racer boys who want to fly by you an inch away; all you can control is yourself. So.... get a mirror, hold your line, and desensitize yourself to close passes. Complaining about them on BF will not make them stop. The best we can offer is advice for taking control of the situation.
