Right of Way

We have all had this happen to us. We are driving down a one lane residential street and another car is coming at us. Common sense would be for each car to bear towards the right to let the other one pass easily. Sometimes the other person is an inconsiderate idiot that stays directly in the center of the road and flies by you s o closely that you think that they are going to sideswipe you. I cannot understand what they are thinking to drive so recklessly and with a feeling of such entitlement.
