Then will you please pay attention to on what side of my truck you are riding and if block you off, I don't do it to annoy you or get you a bad lap time. I'm doing that for your safety.
Today, general taxes paid by all taxpayers cover nearly as much of the cost of building and maintaining highways as the gas tax and other fees paid by drivers. The purchasing power of gasoline taxes has declined as a result of inflation, improved vehicle fuel economy, and the recent stagnation in driving. As a result, so-called “user fees” cover a shrinking share of transportation costs. Additionally, most cyclists also own cars and DO pay for the small amount of user fees that exist. If you want cyclists off the road so that you can drive in peace, advocate for better and more cycling infrastructure, which typically costs pennies compared to roads and highways.

Would’ve added more value getting over so the car didn’t have to swerve off the pavement. Thus having a better chance of losing control of the car. Nothing against biking. Bikers want us to be mindful of them but don’t want to be mindful of the laws while on the road. 🤷
