Yes you do sound like Serge; not because of the way you do or don't drive, but for the Pavlovian tendency to blame cyclists for the result of motorists' errors/carelessness and distracted driving. Also Serge-like is joining the EC™choir of proseltyizers who preach that if only cyclists would get with the TRUE "program of safe and efficient cycling", motorist/cyclist interactions would be blissful and virtually risk-free for the newly baptized "educated" urban cyclists.
