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.
Thanks for the link, I totally missed that somehow...
I'd be interested in seeing a more recent study. I wasn't even born when that took place, there is whole new generations of riders who are on the streets now.
The guy in your story sounds super annoying. I only started riding daily about 4 months ago. Since then I've put in about 1500 miles. There were moments in my first month that I had some similar thoughts as your riding partner, but you quickly realize how stupid it is. The car was doing everything right in your story.
