Cars systematically break laws so often that it is simply not commented on. And the reality is the waste majority of bicyclist do not do borderline suicidal rides. Research shows overwhelmingly that most people on get on bikes if there are safe ways to bike.
The evidence is obviously anecdotal because and comment on it because its exceptional, while people not properly stopping at stop signs or going to fast is literally no even worth commenting about.
> I honestly do not know what it is about bikes, but not completely unlike BMWs and Teslas, they seem to attract oddly aggressive drivers.
You seem to indicate that you understand what a systematic issue is but then completely throw it out with this comment.
The reason only 'aggressive drivers' ride bikes (if this is even remotely true, more likely its just those you notice) is because most normal people rationally decide that these places are to dangerous to ride the bike in.

Given how few people bike in the US, it clearly is.
