Thus the average driver knows better, but simply chooses to be a "slob" behind the wheel, with the result of poor driving.

The cycling thing I have seen as those self important people aggressively treat cyclists while dismissing that the cyclist is a valid road user and in front of them... and yes I am probably biased against drivers that drive large vehicles aggressively in the presence of cyclists. But I have noticed that while those drivers force their way around cyclists, they may fall in line with other traffic.... no doubt as their large vehicles cannot intimidate other motorists in the same manner as it can intimidate a lone cyclist.
