I know it's different in various places, but interestingly, my DH and I find that about 99.5% of the drivers here where we live in rural New York state are courteous, patient, and usually give us wide berth on our bikes. We wish the roads had slightly better maintained shoulders with less deterioration and hazardous debris, ...but we sure can't complain about driver courtesy.
