I get idiots who haul ass to pass me within, say 500ft, of a stop about once a month, and I've even seen them do it to Amish buggies. I probably get one who barely avoids oncoming traffic (or me) weekly. All lane position does is give you some breathing room to maneuver and gives the timid (aka safe) drivers something to think about before passing...it ain't a cure for stoopid.
