When you have cars brushing by your elbow at 40 mph, well, I thought that was very dangerous. When going around curves, cars routinely cut into the inside shoulder. They'll do it on blind corners, too.


Been there and done that with a few buses and lorries.  Also had a few near misses where the shear force of the wind almost derailed me into the vehicle passing.  Other than that, I quite happily sit in the drag of a car going 40mph downhill, or scrape through the busy traffic of a city.
