Over the past several years, I've proved to myself the dictum: Passing cars will give you as much room as you take. Try to squeeze six inches from the curb or bushes, and they'll pass you six inches from your elbow. Take three feet, and they'll give you that much space between them and you. It sounds counterintuitive, but it works!
