This is the approach I attempt to take. Key word "attempt."

I suppose I find this true but when I do my jackassery in the road it's usually the people in cars not understanding what I'm about to do (probably for the frequent lack of signalling and filtering through traffic way faster than I should) and even when I'm being a jackass I'm still super defensive and always have a way out, cars never drive defensively...
It's just super annoying when a car get's pissed off just because it's a bicycle. Especially around campus the cars don't realize they can't really go any faster than me in the traffic but they still think they HAVE to pass me just because. Or when I need to turn left people honk at me all the time. Honestly would you honk and yell if I was just in my car making you do the same exact ****ing thing.
