Both are entitled to use the road, unfortunately the cyclist has been seen for far too many years abusing that privilege i.e. ignoring traffic lights.

I get road rage and I am cycling it gets that bad sometimes. Even heard cyclist being abused by drivers because they are on the road.

This is of course wrong, but can you blame a motorist when he sees cyclists abusing the law and getting away with it? Time the cyclist showed that he is a worthy road user perhaps?

I doubt that anyone would be happy with that type of result, but perhaps it is time for a cyclist to take responsibility for him/herself? Why should the Onus always be on the motorist? Surely a decent cyclist would take out some form of insurance, after all it isn't always the car drivers fault.
