Unless it's not safe to pass within the lane, in which case they are
just ensuring their safety.

I'm guessing you're the only one who misses the irony in accusing
cyclists of "MFFY" while advocating passing in a potentially lethally
dangerous way.

The third choice _is_ unlikely. But you left out the most likely
choice: he's simply better at driving than you are.

Competent drivers really have no problem with this.

Oh, I recognize that. I also recognize that there's a whole range of
whiners that complain about each little delay in their lives. And we
can't change that.

That's why I don't take you seriously.

For one thing, you won't make such a fool of yourself on Usenet.

Ah, another choice presents itself: Ride a bus!

Alternately, just get a grip and stop whining.

Be honest, Frank, what he'll actually catch is most likely to be an
extra 30 seconds in the next traffic jam ;-)­
