How often does that kind of thing happen? Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly?

You wouldn't need to ask if you rode a bike regularly. Every 20 minutes of riding is my guess.

There's a huge variation. Some rides, I've had two or three incidents that the police have actioned after I submitted the cam footage, and other times, I can go a couple of months without a bad incident.

Motorist squeezing past at speed without adequate space? Every single time.

If you commute daily (5 times a week) then you will see at least one terrible / dangerous driver in that time period. Some weeks it can be really bad, several a day, some weeks it will be almost silent (but always at least one nutter). The weather makes a big difference, for some reason drivers drive a lot worse in the rain and really hot weather, usually speeding / running reds and not checking mirrors more often than in overcast / typical UK weather.

  This was true for me, but now days it almost never happen. What changed was that my route got a serious upgrade, with lower speed intersections, better yield signs for everyone. All it took was a well thought out plan for all the streets with bicycle traffic. But yeah when I am not on my daily commute you still get that kind of behaviour.

Every time you use a street together with cars. It'd be easier to ask when it does not happen because that's the exception here

I originally was making a list of every driver that came close to killing me, noting down their license plate and making a police report. After a single day with over a dozen, I've stopped counting. Now I only note down the drivers that, when turning a corner or passing me, threw me off the bicycle and/or drove over the bicycle, damaging parts of it. The list currently contains 2 events this month alone.

I bike with a camera. I capture cars doing illegal and dangerous stuff multiple times a day when I bike, and post it online or/and report them. So your suggestions are way off. Just in may&june I totaled over 160 reports.
