Show some patience until it is safe to move completely into the other lane for the safe pass.
Save your breath if your are so ignorant to right and wrong. I have been riding for 5 years and was a police officer for 27, There was room to safely pass if the cyclists were single file. I ride that route all the time. The warning was at the officers discression, but numerous violations could have been cited, as with any statute is at the interpritation of the officer. With cyclist thinking the way you do it is no wander motorist get so aggressive. The problem is it is usually the courtious rides that get hurt over this.
