The lane is plenty wide. All the semis (who I think are better drivers) stay in the lane as they pass me, and I don't feel unsafe as they pass.

I never thought of that second one.

I don't look anything like a cop. Besides, no cops here ride bikes.

I'd prefer that everyone were comfortable, then there'd be no honking as they pass, assuming they honk because they're annoyed. Cars honking at me stresses me, and then I don't enjoy my commute. I may not be able to put the drivers at ease, though.
