If you're too overwhelmed on the road to pay attention on the road enough to look out for bikes or pedestrians, maybe take the bus when you go to work. That's not normal.
It happens regularly. Cars will cut off bike riders and force them to stop or ,worst yet. drive into them as they switch lanes. Again, it does not matter who's at fault. Ultimately, the bike rider loses. I see plenty of "ghost bikes" on the sidewalks next to a road to tell me that bike riding can be fatal. I've yet to see a "ghost car." Car driving is dangerous too but I will bet on the car every time.
It happens with motorcycles too. There are plenty of situations where a driver turns right in front of a moving motorcycle that's just crossing an intersection.
It's not all car drivers but given the magnitude of cars on the road it only takes a very small fraction to cause all the trouble.
