I'd be perfectly fine with them having a set of rules they follow assuming the vast majority followed them and the ones that didn't were ticketed just as driver

I'd be perfectly fine with them having a set of rules they follow assuming the vast majority followed them and the ones that didn't were ticketed just as drivers or pedestrians would be.
- vetrom 12y agoYou know... I'd be fine with that as long as other vehicles also got regularly ticketed when they flagrantly violate the right-of-way of bicycles following road rules as defined by $JURISDICITON. The last time I saw that was....... never. If you are going to make an argument for the rule of law, it does have to be applied as a whole, not just to the groups you hate. If that sounds so unpalatable, perhaps the law needs to be changed. That is the case which this article is making.
- cwisecarver 12y agoOther vehicles not getting ticketed for violations has absolutely nothing to do with this. If LE isn't doing it's job, then it's not doing it's job regardless of the mode of transport. The article is about laws directed at cyclists not being logical. It rings a little hollow when the subject of the article can't follow the laws they already have. For whatever it's worth, I don't hate cyclists. I have a bike that I ride around neighborhood streets and through local parks for recreation. I don't ride it on highly-traveled roads or as a transportation device because I think I'd be impeding motorized vehicles and I'd really rather not be killed.
