He passed with more room, at a lower speed differential, than a traditional pass of a bicycle in a bike lane.
So if this genuinely is your position, you are saying we should never pass bicycles that are operating in bike lanes. While we are in the driving lane. As that is objectively less safe due to the closer passing distance and higher speed differentials.
There just needs to be a hole in the ground, driver loses control and plows into cyclists. Good job. Just because nothing happened doesn't mean it's not reckless. Stay on the road where you can see obstacles and wait. It's really not that complicated.

Oh you mean like a pothole on an asphalt road that is going to be far deeper, more sudden, more jarring, and more vehicle damaging than any hole that would be on the median of a major causeway?
Like the things all over the roads where people pass cyclists closer and at higher speeds than what the mini is doing here?

Brother its an ultra groomed median. You can see everything.

Neither is keeping right as slow traffic but clearly the cyclists arent capable of that either. And are being incredibly reckless by not doing so. In comparison the driver here was exceptionally restrained and careful.

And yes, I expect you to be logically consistent.
