I do worry about the idiots that think "I have to pass the slow guy on the bike" when I'm doing 40mph in a 35mph zone and I'm in the center of the lane, so the driver pulls into oncoming traffic to pass me. (This has happened more than once, when I've been doing between 40 and 45mph.)
Same here. There's a hill on part of my commute where I'll regularly hit 40 without trying, and the limit is 35. JAMs pass me even when I'm doing 45+, and the bottom of the hill is a regular speed trap too, I go that way 2-3 times a week and see a cop car (with or without a pulled over speeder) about 50% of the time. Scares me pretty decently watching people pull around me with cars coming up the hill, cause you know they'll sideswipe you to avoid the head-on with the car who's lane they are in.
