I am an avid bicyclist who has been hit twice by motorists. Once when a car pulled out of a driveway right in front of me and once when a car pulled into a driveway right in front of me. But the most interesting incident was when a van almost ran into me. I caught up to the driver and asked if she was trying to hit me and she said "you're on a bicycle, you have to get out of my way". Rather than enlighten as to the law I looked at her two children in the back seat and said "you better hope other drivers are more courteous".
- cduan 17y agoI made myself a credit-card sized copy of the relevant bike laws for my state (California), so I can pull it out and read/give it to people like this. I've only actually done it once, but it sure shut the guy up fast.
