Observed once again while riding with a relatively new (slow) bike rider you get constantly punished, pushed and pressed by all sorts of drivers way more than you would if you're a bit quicker. It really is worrying and stressful and very easy to see why people think it's dangerous and would be put off by taking up cycling regularly.
Just like my memory of being a learner driver. The sight of the L plate makes the red mist descend for some people and they will do anything to aggressively overtake, pull out in front and so on.
