Exactly, I am just as (actually more so) terrified of other motorists while driving as I am when cycling. The stunts drivers pull these days and get away with are obscene. And it self escalates as other drivers feel they have to respond aggressively just to 'survive'. I only see it getting worse as more and more drivers have learned their driving skills and behaviors from video games and television. Other people are viewed as 'points' or 'hood ornaments' not children, parents, fellow human beings.
