sure, there's still the occasional dip**** that doesn't know how to share, but FTMP a more VC style of riding does prevent a huge amount of the close-passes that were inadvertently invited by a meek lane position.

it's give and take. when i'm in front, i lead with confidence and most people "get it". when it's suitable to let others pass, i move over and (usually) wave them ahead.

short answer... when i learned how to take the lane with confidence, close passes dropped significantly. you won't need cameras to test it yourself, but a mirror does help.
