In fact i have conducted my own experiment, you're gonna love this because it is real world proof that FRAP is not a bad thing.

I did this on the same strech of roadway, for the same distance with the same level of traffic. Used 2 cameras mounted to my bike to record the ride on this stretch of roadway. One pointed behind me and one ahead of me recording video. This way I had the correct number of motor vehicles who passed me. I conducted the experiment for 5 business days each, Monday through Friday twice a day at the same times each day. The first week I practically hugged the curb. I was pretty much 6" off of the curb the whole way. The second week I was more left of the curb, in the "tire track" of the travel lane, about 2 to 3' off of the curb.

The results were as follows: The first week, 6" off of the curb I was buzzed, passed too close, honked at, yelled at, etc. I was even brushed by a mirror. The second week I was passed within at least 2' if not more, was not yelled at, was not brushed, was not honked at.

And one more thing, a lot of the drivers were the same people on their morning or afternoon commute.

The results of my test tell me one thing. FRAP works when used properly.
