I thought this as well but German drivers will dangerously swerve into oncoming traffic to overtake me sometimes when I block a lane. Even if there is a red stop light 50m down the road.

Well, it's less of them, and at least they're risking their own lives too. If there's an accident I want the person responsible coming with me to the hospital. That might not be rational, but it's how I feel.

Lol it's not rational but I know how you feel. Sometimes I daydream somebody hits me and wrecks my bike and then feels so bad that they give me loads of money in hopes of me not suing them, and then I use that to buy a better bike. And then I wonder wtf is going wrong in my brain
