You said

some drivers

The brain rot cyclists I'm talking about think all drivers hate cyclists. Everyone knows these assholes hate cyclists. Some of the terminally online types think everyone behind the wheel is like them

It only takes one crash to injure or kill a cyclist -- there's no such thing as a fender bender when you are on two wheels.

Try commuting by bike for a month and you will understand why cyclists are so distrustful of cars in North America. It's a lot scarier than drivers realize.
