I don't know of any driver that thinks that way.
As for the second part (not bolded) I also don't believe that. Things drivers complain about -- length of commute (not because of traffic, but because of distance), being cut off, being whizzed by a vehicle, only to have it immediately stop in front of you to make a turn. Other grievances are people (be it cars, pedestrians, cyclists) not obeying traffic signals/signs, and jaywalkers. The one that bothers me is when cyclists come at you in the opposite direction -- WHEN THERE IS A FREAKING PROTECTED BIKE LANE! Holy crap. Queens BLVD between Belmont and Westheights is an example of this. You have protected bike lanes -- use the damn things.
