Ususally if I get buzzed, I move further away from the curb. That way the driver doesn't have the option, but has to move fully into the other lane.

I had an issue with a motorist taking exception to me doing this exact same thing this morning.
Reported him to the Colorado State Patrol for harrasing me.
This street is low traffic with 2 to 3 lanes each direction. Somehow being in the right lane just pissed this driver off. Due to being buzzed by drivers that have 2 or 3 other lanes to use, I now ride dead center in the right lane.
Hopefully, the CSP reeducates him.
