Add to that, you're not going to change anyone's mind most likely. Just let them go on their merry way and, heaven forbid, you actually get into a situation that another driver caused, pursue whatever remedies you deem fit from those that are available to you.
This is why I think advocacy is one of those things that sounds great on paper, but in reality doesn't work because it's associated with "asking." If you're entitled to something by law (e.g. riding a bike on a public street), you don't ask to be able to continue to do it, you demand that the public infrastructure you're paying for is planned with reasonable accommodations to allow you to cycle.
