There was something wrong with the cyclist doing that. They were being an unnecessary dickhead

And this is the root of the problem. You, and other drivers, think that a cyclist doing something to protect themselves is being a dickhead. Because drivers in this city are selfish assholes who think their commute is a competition they have to "win".

 
Cyclists aren't doing it at you, they're doing it to stay safe. Quit thinking everything is about you.

First off you don't know my bike status I ride in this city. Second, being aware of your surroundings is what keeps you safe not not rigid protocols like some sort of autonomous car. In the instance in reference the cyclist was a dickhead just as in this instance you are as well reddit isn't a competition you have to "win" quit thinking everything revolves around you and stay safe out there.

Yeah, the cyclist is the dickhead in this situation.

 
I'll do what it takes to keep myself safe, including filtering. If that makes me a dickhead to some asshole with terminal carbrain, so be it.

That dispute was over filtering.
 
The problem here is that people stuck in their cars see someone moving faster than they are and they get mad over it because it's unfair in their opinion. No more, no less. The arguing over legality is just window dressing for their little baby brains getting mad over being passed.

 
I don't want to get killed in a squeeze crash so I'm going to filter. Cope and seethe.

Maybe people would take your opinion more seriously if you weren’t such an insufferable cunt in literally every comment you post. There’s a reason your history is full of downvotes and arguments.
