I'm not sure how riding further to the left is going to make a difference.  The driver was either intentionally trying to drive close to Steve or drunk out of his mind.  In the first case, the driver would have shifted over a little but would have still buzzed/clipped Steve.  In the second case, the driver may well have hit him.

Sorry to hear about your experience Steve.  Sheridan Road in Kenilworth at 7:30am Sunday has more bikes than cars.  It is THE "Biker's Highway" on the North Shore at that hour.  And there are a lot of Kenilworth residents that are outraged at all the bike traffic in front of their million-dollar homes.  My guess is that he was trying to scare you...and hit you with his mirror by mistake.  Again the best defense in that situation IMO would be to ride further to the left, so that the driver would have had to use a bit more care to pass.
