Here is my closest encounter yet with vehicular traffic while riding my road bike. Thank God I made it through unscathed! Not only did this truck driver neglect the fact that I am a fellow human, but he also obviously violated Minnesota's 3ft minimum passing law. Road was new and shoulder was extremely soft. I was also clipping along at 20MPH so hitting the shoulder would have been painful. I was also in a "is this really happening to me right now" state of mind. I somehow arrived at the last minute calculation that I would make out best continuing on the extreme right of the paved shoulder. Reported the incident, license plate number, and video to the MN State Patrol.
