As a motorcycle rider myself, it's already dangerous enough when you've got an engine under you to get out of harm's reach. The solution is more bike lanes, not cars and bicycles learning to share the road. They shouldn't be. Bicycles need to get off my fuckin road!
Let me remove all doubt from your mind: YOU ARE AN INCONSIDERATE - AND DANGEROUS - MOTORIST. If that's your usual attitude while driving anyway. The rule of the road is that any vehicle that can legally be on that road (in other words, excluding dumbass bikers that think they can be on an interstate) has to share the road with other vehicles. If they're street-legal, then they're all equall in the eyes of the law.

There are inconsiderate bikers and inconsiderate drivers. I try to never be either, although I don't always succeed at that.
