I have , the idiot wouldnt let me pass so he ended up on the ground when I gently nudged his back wheel.

If by thought of running a cyclist over you mean, "omg I almost hit this person" because they're riding on a very hilly two lane highway and you can't see them past the hills or they can't keep a straight line and veer into the road when you get to a good point to pass them. I don't think of hitting people but cyclists seem to enjoy playing road roulette.

Nope, not once have I thought this.

They are considered a vehicle and have the same right of way on the road. In fact I actively block other cars from tailgating and trying to dangerously pass cyclists that are in front of me.

Your post says more about you than it does about society.

And when they do, it's because they're a racist bigot and hate White people.

I think more drivers have the thought that the cyclist needs to use the sidewalk not the street to ride on.
