Here is the deal in my area, if a vehicle doesn't occupy the full with of the road as in it's narrow like a motorcycle, larger vehicles tend to bully them over and even run them off the road - seen it several times.
In my old small Porsche 911 I've had people try to do the same thing to me.
Many full sized pickup truck and SUV drivers drive with their tires on or over the bicycle lane stripe because they feel compelled to take up the entire width of the road. If they spot a vehicle not taking up the full width they often take action to take that territory from the narrower vehicle.
I wish that I was just making this up, but sadly I'm not.
