Don't ride in the shoulder of the road. Cars and trucks will go around you. I haven't had any issues riding in the traffic lanes. Though your area might have way more traffic and drivers that aren't as patient as I have here.
In that case, you might be a good candidate for tubeless tires if you have to stay on the shoulder. Though they will require you to learn some new ways. And will need attention several times a year. But at least that can be done at home and not on the side of the road.
The OP specifically stated he rode in the bike lanes. I would think a guaranteed way to piss off drivers would be to ride in a vehicle lane with a bike lane next to you. If no bike lane, then you have a valid point.
