(I have been hit multiple times, car doored to the nose, and cycled 40km a day for several years in chaotic city roads before cycle lanes existed, and routinely appeared at work with bloodied knuckles – just in case that somehow validates my comment more)

I don’t think drivers seek to run down cyclists, only that a lot of them were taught to drive at a time that did not accomodate for them when they took their driving test.

Granted that cars are far higher, larger, and more powerful now and likely do pose more of a threat. I just think jumping down someone’s throat for a no harm no foul situation breeds only bitterness between the types of road users who must ultimately co-exist
