It's not always easy to determine intent or like the saying, "The little boys threw rocks at the frogs in jest but the frogs died in earnest." I don't have any enemies who would be out to run me over and as to the others I don't think I'm worth the paperwork and hassle they would need to go through for hitting me. With all of the distractions that drivers used to have there are now texting and cell phone calls. Heck, I've even had cyclists texting as they ride, paying no attention to where they are going.
But this is why I avoid mixing with motor vehicles as much as possible. That way I am not at the mercy of driver's decisions and distractions. But it's nice to see that there are many cyclists who are trusting and confident that drivers will obey the laws and the rules and do the right thing and make the right choices in order not to hit us while we are riding.
