What frustrates me greatly, is peoples attitudes towards one another. It really doesn't need to be this hard. If there was courtesy shown to everyone on the road, by all users, it would all operate so smoothly.

Unfortunately, I can't resist biting on the bait of a thread like this, since it's an issue so close to home.

Yes, mutual respect is sorely lacking.
I ride cycles and I drive a car regularly so I am sympathetic to both causes.
However, there are some drivers/ riders that need a brain MRI to ascertain brain functionality.
If you've driven up or down Mt Dandenong tourist road in Melbourne's outer east lately you'll see all the wannabe Nibali's and Sagan's and lowndes's and Winterbottoms battling it out for road supremacy. Crazy $%&# with cyclists riding 2 abreast down narrow bendy twisty roads at over 60klmh with cars trying to overtake them on wrong side of road on blind bends.
Cyclists think they are entitled and drivers won't tolerate.
Lunacy......
