Occasional guy reversing half a block down the bike lane swearing at me.
If you are referring to the link to John Forester's paper, he provided it above but here it is again:

Oopsie, I see genec and I simultaneously responded.
Regarding motorist misbehavior, I would say there is more than plenty. We have a thriving auto collision repair industry based on an average motorist collision rate of one per seven years; however, my point is not to compare and contrast motorists and cyclists for the reasons originally stated.
Also, while cyclists don't injure motorists, they do occasionally injure pedestrians and themselves when they screw up. Cyclists are not always at fault, but sometimes they are -- describing those situations is what this thread is for.
