The primary issue between cyclists and motorists is that very generalization. How about "individuals in cars", and "individuals on bikes".

I always stop for red lights. It waaay too dangerous not too. Multiple times I've had pick up trucks hit their horn and blow by me traveling waaay over the speed limit, when I'm following all the rules.

Conversely, some cyclists zip in and out of traffic, hit people and scrape cars, and create unsafe situations around them. Pick up trucks routinely give me a few feet when they pass, and even yield at bike path crossings.

Just treat everyone respectfully and stop blaming every bike or car for that bad situation the other day. Everyone is different.
