> Speeding mildly is usually a consequence of stupidly low speed limits. And you think the average driver is qualified to make that assessment on a moment-by-moment basis? Hell, I don't know you, but given the chances I'm gonna go ahead and say you don't know the intricacies of road design either. Most drivers do not even fully grasp the concept of line-of-sight, much less anything more complex than that. Hence, the easy to understand speed limits decided by experts. But hey, go ahead, tell me specifically where the speed limits are commonly too low in your opinion and why. > these are grown adults willfully ignoring the law because they find it inconvenient. No, "inconvenient" is e.g. what drivers find yielding to pedestrians. Riding a bike amongst cars is dangerous and unsafe. > A motorcycle likewise can ride on the sidewalk to avoid car congestion but it doesn't because it's illegal Speeding is illegal too, so clearly "illegal" is not the reason. It'd be unreasonably dangerous to pedestrians to operate a motor powered vehicle on a sidewalk in a way that a bicycle isn't.
