Not saying you're stupid but It should be obvious to you and to everyone else that a 4,000+ pound vehicle driven by random and probably distracted driver at 30, 40 or 50 mph and within inches (and sometimes closer) of defenseless cyclist or pedestrian is dangerous. One because it can cause a cyclist to get scared and jump like a scared person is prone to do and two most drivers do not possess the necessary skills to drive that closely to something - especially something that's moving. And I'm not being a tough guy - it just bothers me that people don't think before they sit down at the keyboard. CLOSE PASSING IS NOT DANGEROUS - give me a break.
