I am quite conservative, and was already displeased by all the pandering to some identitarian issues from mainstream companies, not only automakers, as those issues are raised basically as a "politically correct" segregation. And segregation is a key to control larger groups, who would become less prone to figure out what's really going on while fighting each other for nothing actually worth fighting

Most of the times I see things heating up between a driver and some bicyclist, it's clearly the bicyclist's fault. Bicyclists here tend to embrace a more political stance on bicycles and become quite aggressive, even worse while riding in large groups.

Being cautious helps, yes, but the number of SUV and pickup owners that think they own the road and are probably drunk or on marijuana just keeps rising.
Had the bureaucracy not favored trucks and SUVs over "normal" cars so much there, you should expect those very same intoxicated drivers to act the same way even if they were riding a Honda CG 125 with a sidecar.
