>if they veer into your lane and you hit them, good luck trying to get out of that

I don't doubt that your description of driver psychology is largely correct, but this statement in particular is pretty far from reality. In practice, it's astonishingly easy for drivers to get away with injuring or killing both cyclists and pedestrians, even when they are clearly at fault.

It's also astonishingly easy for cyclists to flaunt road rules against the rest of us who sre aghast at accidentally killing another human being, regardless of their violations of the rules of the road.

Perhaps they do not. The rule that slower traffic always has the right of way should be observed.

Slow trucks are obligated to pull to the side of the road when traffic backs up behind them. Bicycles ignore that.
