Asshole car and van drivers

******* car and van drivers
I commute everyday on motorway belt around Dublin known as the M50, this by far the most dangerous road in the country, motorists cut you up and it's all 'hand jesters and **** you towards the biker'
This one ***** this morning swept across me in a long base van, I hit the horn and had to veer to the outside lane, thankfully I had a 2 meter gap in front of the LORRY in that lane.
Now this ***** is all fingers and shouting obscenities, the traffic slowed up to a standstill and the ******* got his wing mirror punched off, and an invitation to get out and have his manners adjusted for him, needless to say he locked his door.
I was tempted to punch through the window but by that stage all the do-gooder motorists around had the phones up to protect the 'poor van man'
Do these ******** not realise that they are going to leave us seriously injured at best, or dead?????!!!! Irish motorists have no clue or respect around bikes, you're approached from the rear and they hit the brakes as soon as they see you, WTF???!!! I am literally almost put off 5-10 times a 16 mile journey to work and back.
Is it the same for the rest of you guys in diff countries?

It is very frustrating and dangerous!
One of the reasons I do my commuting in my car (M25) and choose quiet times to ride, that way I get maximum pleasure from my time in the saddle.
I like to ride hard and fast, I get no pleasure from the usual Sunday afternoon ride-out, too many cars, bikes, cyclists, police and even horse riders. In the summer, I ride at first light, maybe 04:30am-ish, that way I can ride like a loon and not endanger others and minimise the danger to myself.
I feel your frustration, but the general rule of thumb is, ride like everyone else wants to kill you!
Take care and don't let that anger get the upper hand

Not like that here in the states although I've only ridden in Arizona, Nevada, North and South Carolina, and California.
You get lots of idiots not paying attention, but at least here in AZ if you start challenging someone to step out of the car or off the bike your getting shot, legally. So people tend to chill out a bit.
