@
Hypno Toad : thank you for showing empathy.
@
u235 and @
Daniel4 : the responses in this thread are emotionally loaded. We are not prepared to deal with the constant danger of being killed. Feeling rebellious is a legitimate response. But it shouldn't make us blind to the consequences of our own behaviour.
@
ThermionicScott : scolding involves an aggressive attitude. Advising on the other hand is friendly and neutral. when scolding you put yourself above, when advising you put yourself beside.
@
mcours2006 : driving a car makes people bold and impatient, i agree. but the situation isn't as dramatic as you are putting it, otherwise we wouldn't be here discussing about it. Drivers can be courteous and patient. And they are more likely to be courteous and patient with a courteous and patient cyclist than with an agressive and impatient one. Exclamation point.
