No matter, Frank can lament all day long, I know for a fact that since

And I can say precisely the same thing about my learning to ride more
toward lane center, instead of at the road edge.

I suppose if you are terrified enough to hide near the gutter, you may
have a lot of close calls. That's pretty common. And I suppose glaring
bright lights might reduce those gutter-induced close calls a bit. But
riding more prominently as permitted by law does more, even though you
refuse to understand this.

Piece of cake. On lane this narrow I also do that. Now try it on a 55mph
county road. Aside from all the hairy situations you'll soon get pulled
over by Highway Patrol and later pay a painful three-digit fine.
