And, While i assume many of us lived most of our lives car-free, as I did, I also assume we all learned to drive, drove occasionally, and drive often to get to places to ride too far to ride to ....

So yes, I have no issue deciding what to tell a driver. What the driver decides ... depends on whether s/he is staring at the phone, or the nav screen.
The problem is not that you can tell when it is safe to pass.

The problem is that you cannot tell if the driver behind you will think it is safe to pass.

Nobody can read minds.
