To repeat earlier posts: if the person driving wants to cause a collision, they will likely cause a collision. That kinda hateful person is thankfully rare.
So rare that I've never seen it in 65 years of cycling. Never heard of hateful motorists wanting to cause collisions with cyclists being any sort of problem except for reading on the BF about this issue from some posters who seem to have an inordinate number of negative encounters with the driving public.
