Don't drive, but I do cycle, in an "expect the unexpected" way (from pedestrians, other cyclists [*] and anyone else), and when cycling on real roads (which basically means I'm riding along the strip between the concrete gutter and the tarmac) I'm very aware that the vast majority of powered vehicle drivers are ultra-paranoid about overtaking even when there's room to pass. Presumably because the "bigger is more at fault" assumption is very strong here.
This is compared to Germany, where one basically had to assume that despite a nominally bicycle-friendly infrastructure, the hydrocarbon-powered vehicles were basically out to get you.
[*] speaking as a cyclist, the majority of cyclists are batshit insane and deserve what is coming to them.
