Riding a bicycle around cars would pretty quickly dispel that notion.
- lapcat 4y agoYou think I haven't ridden a bicycle around cars? Are drivers sometimes headless? Yes. Are they murderous? No. Otherwise you and I would be dead now.
- mantas 4y agoA possibility of punishment is a great way to remind to check whereabouts of one’s head…
- pasiaj 4y agoRoad rage and horribly antisocial driving behaviour exists. I don't think it usually includes murderous intent, but intentionally dangerous behaviour is quite common.
- lapcat 4y agoYes, they exist, they're illegal, and the legal consequences don't actually stop them. If the argument is that everyone would road rage and drive dangerously if there weren't legal consequences, I dispute that. Many people don't do it simply because they don't feel like doing it.
- Ekaros 4y agoMaybe not everyone. But probably sizable proportion of road users would. And I think that is the point. Punishment is effective tool for stopping at least sizable fraction of them.
- watwut 4y agoI am someone who used to ride bike for transportation a lot. It was nit that bad. It may be cultural, but people were not horribly antisocial.
- closeparen 4y agoI'm very familiar with environments where people drive however the fuck they want. A cyclist wouldn't last long there. Maybe it's not murderous intent, but it's at least reckless disregard for life.
- lapcat 4y agoWhich environments would those be? Every major city has a large number of non-dying cyclists.
