Hot take! And so should a cyclist test, the amount of cyclists I’ve seen recently not using either rear or front lights and wearing all black is insane. Either take responsibility or gtfo off the road. You want me to take a test? so should you to show that we’re all responsible for our lives and the lives of others . Let the downvotes commence from the irresponsible ones.
People suck at driving cars. They are entitled shitheads that should be kicked in the head repeatedly. But they are sooooo much better at driving than most people on bikes. Dear Deity!
Not in my town. Cyclists wouldn’t last long if they were as bad as the drivers here. It’s been a long time since I rode into town and saw no driver on their phone or jump a red light (turn through red is illegal here).
Don’t think I’ve ever seen an actual red-light-jump. Different driving culture, I guess. People on bikes here doesn’t seem to understand that there isn’t a rule that says “bikes always go first” and they seem to be clueless about the consequences of being hit. Sure, I’ll feel bad, but not physically. They might be dead or broken.
We have them all: amber gamblers, crossing creepers, jumping the gun, the cautious nighttime non-stoppers, the good old blast through…
There is a rule in the UK that bikes get priority over cars unless markings show otherwise, and another that walkers get priority over both. Some drivers are still in denial and seem to think they won’t get tickets (or education classes if lucky) if they ignore new rules they dislike for long enough!
