Taking a lane position that I determine for myself is as far right as practicable leaves me, often, 50 feet from the curb in the middle of the street, riding the edge of the center turn lane on 4 lane neighborhood connectors with parking. motorists are free to pass to my right in these cases

Jeff- you can put your situational awareness up against someone with a mirror and it will fail. The amount of frustration you are expressing in your videos isn't healthy, man. Get a mirror, control the lane a bit more perhaps, some hand signals, a little lateral movement in the lane, and your riding should become more pleasant. (oh my gosh, I'm sounding like good old HelmetHead!)
unlike HH and some of the zealous here, I have no illusions that controlling the lane eliminates agressive motorist behavior. Heck, I've had drivers get aggro on me after I passed them at a stopsign on a cross street! Didnt like the way I rode past, I guess.
