Just to clarify. You go slower or you stay away. Your don't have to do both. The ideia is to be far enough that the bike toppling to the side doesn't result in a cyclist under your car, or that hitting the cyclist is at a relative low speed.
And I honestly see more drivers overreacting to things that would just dent or scratch their cars than cyclists losing control when they have their lives endangered.
That's what I said, one or the other but not neither or both.
Some cyclists seem to expect you to do both, but that's also unsafe, and the entire point of my argument was to illustrate why that is.
And going back to my original point, dedicated bike lanes would solve this issue entirely, so I don't know why car people are against them.
It seems you've made an art out of latching onto the wrong details, removing all context, and arguing against a distortion of the argument that I actually made...
