Bicycle injuries: Is the right-of-way fight getting ugly?

This eternal battle between motorists and cyclists are not restricted to America, I can understand.

Ever since I took my license, I have been interested in the psychological part of driving.

I ride my bike very much and I am very aware of my road safety.

I tend also to be aware of others' driving psychology.
It has happened that I went up to my old driving instructors and asked him if every men have this "built in" needs to show off when they have female and or male passengers with them.

Have also been aware of the soft traffic ancestors and it is frightening to see how they behave in traffic.
That we (Denmark and Sweden) do not have thousands of dead or injured cyclists / walking, they can thank their luck and that most of the DRIVERS do SEE where they drive

Sometime in mid or late 80s There was in Sweden talks about introducing psychological tests of upcoming male motorists. This proposal failed to win sympathy of the politicians. The reason would be that they had estimated that, up to 90-95% of the 18-year-old would not be suitable for driving a car. (They would use the same type of psychological test as the Swedish Air Force use)
