People complain about these infractions all the time. All the time. Just because something is "normal" doesn't mean people are happy with it.
- InclinedPlane 12y agoPeople don't routinely use them as an excuse to vilify all drivers, but that pattern is quite common when it comes to cyclists.
- nilkn 12y agoDrivers are routinely vilified in bulk in mostly any major American city. For most residents of a large city, it has almost become a pastime to remark on how bad all the drivers are and how their city just must have the worst drivers out of all cities.
- peatmoss 12y agoI see that sentiment expressed more often in the context of how some other bad driver inconvenienced them. I've never received an unsolicited "justify your existence" screed getting out of a car, though I have been harassed while locking my bike by people wanting me to answer for the sins of my people.
