I don't represent anyone but myself.
I think that everyone of the 45 million drivers and every person who cycles has a distinct opinion about 'cyclists' 'drivers' . Which is fluid and changing. That opinion determins how they behave when they interact which is why there are so many different behaviours on the streets. It interests me. I always appreciate your contributions in the threads I start 😊 -
You are marginalising the very people you identify yourself as representing.
Or you just answer the question as a cyclist and a driver.
I drive a white van FFS.

45.5 million "active" driving licences in the UK, total population of 63.4 million.
Therefore motorists are 72% of the population, hence why politicians queue up to decry the "war on the motorist" as in reality that know that that will be understood as "the war on the normal person who is just like me".
Which is why this type of thread (and you do tend to go down this road a lot, Skydancer) creates no value and instead serves to reinforce the idea of cyclists (i.e. people who identify motorists, AKA normal people as unthinking, entitled cunts) as a minority with insane and insulting views.
You are marginalising the very people you identify yourself as representing.
