They're only narrow when they drive in the dooring zone and minimum distance isn't kept during overtaking (Germany: 1.5m in town, else 2m)

- klabb3 4y ago> the dooring zone Which is the most dangerous place to be of all. Cyclists must avoid this zone except for near-zero speeds. I usually tell new cyclists to assume that you are never seen unless you are right in front of a car. Assume all cars have no mirrors, side windows and all doors can be opened at any time. In a car, the mentality is usually "if I have the right of way I'll do it", on a bike it's a death wish.

In the city they're even less of an issue, because the speed limit is 50 km/h and they're doing what, 20-40km/h? It's not that big a deal especially if you factor in intersections, roundabouts, etc. 3. They're still narrower than farm tractors. Or herds of cattle. It's just not that big a deal.
