When I'm cycling, I'm more than fine with drivers who stop at stop signs, use turn signals to show their intentions, don't slowly drift into the bike lane, etc.

When I'm cycling, I'm more than fine with drivers who stop at stop signs, use turn signals to show their intentions, don't slowly drift into the bike lane, etc. The conscientious ones will, if they have to go into your lane (for instance to unload passengers at the curb), signal and merge, slow down carefully, then get out of the lane as soon as they're done unloading passengers. I think this is more than fair if you're sharing the road with bicycles. However, a lot of drivers do do infuriating, selfish things. From what I've generalized over time, they are either the inexperienced ones who don't really think about what's going on around them, are too impatient to make logical/informed decisions, or they are dipsticks on cell phones who break all the rules because it's just too inconvenient or because they are just so hip the rules don't apply. I don't think there's some deeper meaning behind it all, I think that some drivers are courteous and skillful when sharing the road, but many of them don't really know what they're doing or think that the world owes them something because what kind of asshole rides a bicycle anyway?!?! It's the latter ones that ruin it for everyone.
