You also have to consider that because our roads have so much crap on the margins, those cyclists may be riding so close to the lane margins BECAUSE there is glass and tire debris and other hazardous stuff in their lane. I can't tell you how many times I have found everything from discarded construction nails to glass to cans and any other mess you can think of...oil spills, dead animals...ew. I can't ride over that and neither can they.
You are in an enclosed, air-conditioned vehicle...give those who aren't a bit of leeway. That person at the side of the road is somebody's son or daughter, brother or sister, mother or father. Treat them with the same respect you would if it was your kid on the side of the road.
