Commute for me, twice a week usually, sometimes three, is a twenty mile (each way) schlep along roads where some motorists get up to motorway speeds. Use cycle lanes as much as possible but there aren't enough to cover the whole route. I hardly see other commuters, certainly none that do the whole trip. Many drivers are fucking dangerous loons. I've already made the trip longer to miss out one bonkers section that was certain death. Now have to do another work around in a different area after the second near miss on a busy roundabout. Car was so close I could have reached out and touched it. Would have been broken femur/pelvis for sure if I had been hit.
Still, it was a miss. Got to count that.
