> As a driver who recently had a jackass cyclist cut across opposing traffic across Mass Ave in Central Square in front of me, I'd rather have the self-driving car I'll soon be robot chauffeured in stand on the brakes than hit the cyclist, had he been more of a jackass than he was. I agree, however: > People inconvenienced for a few seconds by cyclists need to get over themselves and probably have the wrong attitude to have a driver's license. How does observing someone else doing something completely out of my control, that almost causes an accident with me, make me have the "wrong attitude" to have a driver's license? That doesn't begin to make sense. You're also contradicting your own point of view between sentences (in your first sentence, the cyclist is the jackass; in your second, the driver who dares to question the cyclist's bad habits is the jackass unworthy of a driver's license).
