It hasn't sailed, it is my right to correct all the idiots who still maintain it exists.
I had it shouted at me yesterday.

As a driver of 25 years and a cyclist of a few more, I've realised we just have to accept what's happening.
The behaviour of other road users is something that can infuriate us all. I see so much on a daily basis from all types of road user that seems arrogant and selfish. I see things that are foolish and I see mistakes or errors in judgement that all us make without even realising.
The trick for me, is to decide whether I'm actually affected by what has just happened. Is it worth getting annoyed over? Did anyone get hurt?
Best thing to do is let it slide, or you'll be cycling or driving on edge most of the time, waiting to explode on the next person who forgets to indicate when turning into their drive.
Every group of road user has their own difficulties to live with from other road users. Like it or not, we are all entitled to be there and we all pay taxes that contribute to the roads. A little patience goes a long way, because one things for sure, it's only going to get worse for all of us.

For the last 3.5 years of cycling that's exactly how I handle it now. For the first 6 months I was ready to kill drivers.
Or in my case somebody turning into their drive but had to get past me first knocking me up onto the pavement. He wouldn't get out of the car while I was giving him roll eyes
