My husband and I got "buzzed" on a ride last week. It was an elderly woman who could have passed us with a lot more room to spare after 2 cars in the opposing lane were clear. She had to hurry up and get to the stop sign. I don't think she would have gotten there much later and messed up her schedule too badly if she had the patience to wait. It made for a nervous rest of the ride.
In a separate incident my husband took up the middle of the lane on a hill with a curve. We could hear and see a car in the opposing lane. Another car in our lane went all the way around us into the other lane to pass us, and ended up nearly running the opposing car off the road. If there would have been a collision we might have been unjustly blamed.
