The numbers may not lie, but they tell you absolutely nothing relevant to the discussion at hand. Conditions of course vary depending on locality, but where I live and ride I find that riding in a cooperative manner doesn't result in angry drivers. I don't find that the vast majority of drivers are angry and hate cyclists. They want to get where they're going but as long as you don't unduly delay them they have no problem with cyclists. Of course I encounter angry or overly aggressive drivers once in a while, but they aren't that common and they aren't the drivers I want to have squeezing past me in an unsafe spot.
