Drivers are psychopaths. (This is from a UK perspective.)
Roads are for PEOPLE. Driving is a PRIVILEGE. If I'm cycling, using the full width of the lane I'm in, because for some UKNOWABLE reason there are potholes all over the roads so I'm trying not to fall into them, and you think you need to overtake me, use the full width of the road, like you would for a car. There's no need to toot your horn. EITHER it's safe for you to pass, so you don't need to warn me of your presence, OR it's not safe, so slow the [] down.
I've had drivers try to run me off the road. Someone tried to argue that maybe they didn't realise. DIDN'T REALISE? THAT'S WORSE YOU BUFFOON! If they didn't realise, then they are not safe to drive. Someone hit me once (very slowly, but none-the-less) while I was waiting at a junction, in broad daylight, and do you know his excuse? "Oh, sorry, I wasn't looking". DRIVERS are PSYCHOPATHS!
It does not make sense to me why people seem to accept driving as []ing inevitable. Commuters can [] off. Work from home, move closer to your job, get a job closer to where you live, GET THE []ING BUS. "Oh but public transport is terrible" drivers snivel. TELL YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL, don't endanger my life for your convenience.
I'm not completely without sympathy. I understand that some people have mobility issues, so a car really is essential, but the rest of you []s are damaging, polluting and generally dangerous.
I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I feel the same when walking to work and cyclists hammer down the pavement through the pedestrians. I've had a cyclist dismount and shout at me for being on the pavement telling me that the law here means I had to get out of his way.
Or when they jump red lights. Or when they cycle at night without head protection or lights.
Maybe it's not drivers you're thinking of, maybe it's whoever is in the dominant position at the time. People, eh.
😂 😐

No, it's drivers.
