That only makes sense on roads with lane wide enough to fit both a car and a cyclist. I don't ride roads like that. There are no curbside containers or parked cars. There is only the travel lane and that is not wide enough to accommodate a car and a cyclist. The driver must avoid a cyclist by going into the opposing lane.
