Aggressive driving is road rage. The motorist who passes to closely because they think a cyclist should ride on the sidewalk or because they are upset about a delay is threatening a cyclist with potential homicide. Motorists may not intend to kill or injure but they know very well that hitting a cyclist could kill them. Aggressive driving near vulnerable active transport is pure sociopathy and should be treated as a felony, not a moving violation. And this sociopathic aggression is not only directed at cyclists. I see motorists g.un it through an intersection even though a pedestrian is already in the crosswalk or adjacent traffic has stopped just about every day.
