Couldn't agree more about the indicator thing.
It's strange how as a cyclist when I'm driving (probably around once/twice a week) I give cyclists plenty of room. I've even been beeped at for holding back behind cyclists on bends, which as far as I'm concerned is just good driving practice.
What I never understand - maybe this a macho thing. Why do people overtake you, then 50 meters up the road they stop at a red light. Surely they can see the red light up ahead, why can't they just hold back? They aren't going to get there any faster.
Saying that I did have a BMW pull out on me this morning which really wound me up when he honked on the horn and shouted all the swear words under the sun at me, I simply called him a twat and shook my head, felt like I left the better man.
I'm not anti car by any means I just never understand why people have to get so wound up in there cars. You can't blame cyclists for making you late the same was as cyclists can't blame cars. If your in that much of a hurry leave earlier in the morning. No excuses, at least that way you probably wouldn't drive like such an idiot.
Sorry for the rather long post.
