Are we to believe then that all people who label themselves as 'handyman' (ie, not having a proper job but pretending to know things about building trades) are all bigots behind the wheel?

Ah, bigotry. Unlike the things you ascribe to cyclists, that genuinely does appear to be an inherent behaviour among drivers: "A key finding which should be noted was that, when commenting on the scenarios it was usually the behaviour of the cyclist that was criticised � no matter how small the misdemeanour. Few links were made between the cyclist�s behaviour and any external influences that could be affecting their choice of behaviour; i.e. the respondents� comments indicated that they thought the cyclist�s actions were inherent and dispositional behaviours. In contrast, the motorists� misdemeanours were excused or justified in terms of the situational influences. As this tendency seemed to continue across the groups and the individual depth interviews and was unprompted, it is unlikely that group dynamics had any significant effect on this finding. [...] This aligns with the psychological prediction of targeting of members of an �out group�.." Transport Research Laboratory research report 549, 2003 Nice to know that TRL's work was accurate in this case.
