As for oncoming traffic, sure you'll pass less, but you'll pass more traffic going the same direction (requiring lane changes). What's more dangerous, passing a car going the other way, or having to pull into oncomming traffic to pass a car in your lane.

Passing the car going the other way. I only cross lanes to pass if no traffic is approaching.

The time arguement is worthless because any decrease in the liklihood of an event occuring while you're on the road is at least canceled out by the incease in the liklihood that you'll encounter it in the time period that the hazard exists. And any traffic concerns are pretty much a wash because traffic goes both ways. At best the time factor is a wash, which STILL makes your point irrelvant.
