I'd say on average, I deal with about 2 to 3 incidents if I ride for a full week to work. A lot of it is people not looking in their mirrors before changing lanes causing me to go on the shoulder, pulling out in front of me going 25mph under the speed limit..., it's almost never ending.
Would be nice if there was an automatic cell block in cars forcing people to not text and drive. Then again, I've seen people drive just as bad eating and driving.
The world we live in.
