I've had a few close passes already this year but I try not to let it bother me too much. It's frustrating the level of impatience some drivers have.
When I get into a conversation with a non-cyclist friend who gets annoyed by cyclists I ask them how much time they're actually inconvenienced by cyclists. 5-10 seconds at a light? Maybe the same if they have to slow to wait for space to pass? Even the moron cyclists who don't ride in single file, they're making you slow for another 5-10 seconds? It's not that big a deal.
I have a GoPro/Wahoo mount on the front and usually keep it on when I'm riding in the city. Not that it's going to help too much if they clip me.
