I live and ride in So. Cal. In over 30 years of riding I’ve never had an issue with a BMW or. Benz driver.

OTOH, I’ve had issues with Mr. fat tub of lard driving a jacked up truck, or the occasional retirement home denizen driving a land yacht.

I agree with you, better to dismount before they get to you. Self-defense while still clipped to the bike is never fun.
