I don't want to start a flame war, and I'm not defending the driver, but what were you doing riding with room for a car to pass on your right? (unless preparing for a left turn).

As I read these threads I find that some people have a knack for finding problem drivers, while others rarely have issues. I know drivers vary around the country, but find it hard to believe that drivers in the metro NY area are so far above average in courtesy and respect for their fellow road users.
