Learned my lesson today. After a beautiful ride in, I was exiting from the interstate and to my surprise, they had finished paving the 2nd half of the two-lane/one-way road that I travel on for about a mile to work (yesterday it was torn-up and grooved). Naturally, road markings are limited..
As I start going down the hill in the right lane, I am avoiding man hole covers, that although appear perfectly flush, I'd still rather go around. I made the mistake of going further and further right, rather than weaving within the entire lane. I see a black Camry speeding up approaching and I assume she is going to pass me, but no! She apparently thought my lane was wide enough for the two of us and passes within 1-2 feet of me, totally oblivious. I honk as she passes (perhaps not wise, as she was definitely 'elderly', maybe that would've shocked her) and that is the end of that. Nothing crazy, but certainly interesting.
Anyways! We were going about 40mph so it wasn't THAT fast, but I now understand why you can't give cagers ANY room to even consider doing that.
