They certainly annoy me. But since you're (deliberately, almost certainly) misunderstanding my original challenge, let me rephrase it unambiguously.

In the thread that I linked to in the OP of this thread, you commented on a specific and actual incident between a motorist and a cyclist, and you blamed the motorist. I have seen you do exactly the same thing with a large number of other specific and actual incidents (i.e. those which have been reported by news outlets, reported by posters, posted on Youtube, etc). However, I have never seen a post from you, regarding a specific and actual incident between a motorist and a cyclist, where you have blamed the cyclist, and not the motorist. If such a post exists, please point it out (or preferably, if you want to keep up the pretence that you don't have a problem with motorists in general, point out a lot more than one such post, as you have blamed the motorist for specific and actual incidents between motorists and cyclists many, many times, so you're going to have to work pretty hard to show that there isn't a heavy motorist-blaming bias in posts where you have commented on such incidents).

If you've never, or only very rarely, made such posts, why is that if it's not because you've got it in for motorists?
