Ten everyday ways drivers make cyclists feel unsafe
UK/London centric but he pulls out the following. Video included
1. Tailgating
2. The close pass
3. The overtake-and-cut-off
4. Speeding
5. Stopping in the bike lane
6. The lane squeeze
7. The pinch point push
8. Annexing the advanced stop zone
9. Jumping the lights
10. Hogging the road

N+1: wave cyclists through when the motorist has right of way.

That always makes me feel unsafe. Just stick to the rules, people!

I had a mate get run over when somebody waved him through, they waved him through then thought he wasn't going to go, then ran into as he crossed the intersection. He was okay but shook up.

I rarely accept a wave through, if they won't go I sit there looking at an imaginary watch on my wrist in an effort to get them to move
