In my experience, it takes only minimal driving skill to safely pbutt a cyclist. I certainly never have trouble with this simple maneuver, and when I'm cycling, only a tiny percentage of drivers ever seem to have trouble.
Matthew, if you have trouble, it must be because your driving skills are much worse than average. And if it bothers you this much, it must be because you're overly high strung and self-important. Your repeated rants merely broadcast your shortcomings.
Regarding angry motorists writing letters: Yes, I've seen a few of those over the years. They were no more sensible than your posts, and everybody I talked to (not just cyclists) recognized them for what they were: Another yahoo spouting off about another negligible delay.
If you are delayed fifteen seconds by some bicyclist, the world won't end. Sure, you may miss fifteen seconds of your favorite soap opera, but don't worry: Marsha didn't really die in that house fire, and Brent won't propose once he learns that Brianna is really the long lost daughter of Oliver... or whatever. ;-)
So calm down. Chill. Try New Age music when you drive.
