This has been a big problem for me lately. SO MANY automobile drivers pass me within inches going very fast - probably about 40 mph like RonH said.
Now, I am forced to take the middle of my lane just to keep cars from buzzing me like that. We know that taking the center of the lane is safer, but it is frightening on busy streets. You know that somewhere along the way there will be a drunk or a woman putting on make-up or someone on a cell phone who will not realize why the person in front of them just switched to the other lane and they will gun their engine to close the gap. This is my fear of getting rear-ended.
