To the OP, once a month maybe? It was more frequent on a past commute. Now, the only time I can think of is when an 18-wheeler passed me and started moving right as soon as the cab got past. If I hadn't moved right I think he would have clipped me with the trailer.
Same here. I live in the Triangle, and I get passed within 2' on a regular basis. (State law in NC says drivers must allow 2 feet.) Some of the worst offenders seem to be school buses and small cars (Hondas, Toyotas, etc.).
