Where's the rage about motorists sending 40,000 Americans to the morgue every year with no end in sight? A bunch of you lose your minds over slow-rolling bicycles or other temporary interruptions.

The people yelling "follow the rules of the road!" regarding bikes have zero interest in driving below the speed limit, parking 20 feet away from a stop sign, stopping for people in crosswalks, etc.
