I've been biking to work >10 miles each way for about 9 years now and I understand where this is coming from: when an inattentive/careless driver cuts us off it feels as a personal attack, because if an accident happens the results are equivalent. This means it's natural to start feeling personally targeted when drivers do stupid things around us in traffic. But I'd caution letting our natural feelings drive our opinions. Not all drivers do those things and I suspect most of those that do have no idea of the danger or the threat they create. It's not malice so it shouldn't be payed back with hatred, especially not generalized to the entire driving population. All that does is to further the "us vs them" mentality which is already a huge problem when trying to make drivers understand how they should act around bikes, it's not helping.
