I get frustrated with other road users who don't follow the rules of the road, but the level of risk posed by steel boxes is much higher than other cyclists. Though I have had a few close calls with dangerous cyclists.
My favourite recent one was the middle aged lady who was weaving all over the road, so I went to overtake her widely. She then swerved towards me and punched her arm out to signal (with no check behind) as she suddenly started a right turn.
Yes it was close but if that had been a car it could potentially have been a lot worse.
