If people on bikes were made to follow the letter of every traffic law and regulation, I'd still be at the top of my street, waiting for a green light to turn left onto the main road, as that light isn't triggered by motorcycles. One has to read the given traffic situation and react accordingly, and as for a "bad

well this guy’s not the punisher and, just like the asshole who got out of his car to punch the motorcyclist for something he did earlier, there’s no fucking reason to attack somebody because they’re not following the rules. That’s the cops job, so when you violently accost someone for a minor traffic violation,

What the driver did was, in terms of potential outcomes, was no different than pulling out a handgun and firing. Anything the biker did was completely separate from the auto driver, and would be dealt with separately in legal proceedings.

1) double yellow areas are designed for cars, a 600cc 100hp super sport has the power to weight ratio of 500hp 3000lb car....thats with a 200lb rider.

The biggest reason the US lacks resources is because of our bloated Pentagon budget. Over 54% of the federal discretionary budget goes to the DoD. We are still cranking out M1A1 Abrams tanks even though the military doesn’t want them. They go straight into mothballs. Same thing with the C-27 cargo planes. They cost

The only one without a fucking clue is you. There is not a shred of fact in your statements about England OR other countries, and the fact that you cite nonrelevant claims about yourself only underscores who is “arguing emotion”.

As the son of a son of a son of a veteran, and a veteran myself, howzabout you shove co-opting Daddy’s service to give weight to your own bullshit argument in direct contradiction of the Constitution that we all swore to support and defend right up your little conservative ass?

Yeah, leave London out of your rants please. You don't have any idea what you are talking about. I live in the part of London that allegedly has sharia gangs and are no go areas for non-Muslims. It's utter nonsense. But that's what happens when you get all your information from Fox News I guess.

Since when are babies troublemakers (aside from the usual poopin and crying)? If you are born here then you are a citizen and that is that.

Really? Because in the America I live in a person can get knishes and dim sum and pupusas, listen to reggaeton and madrigals, and it’s really great! Diversity is beneficial to us and fun! Maybe difference isn’t so scary, if you can decide not to be threatened by it.

As a londoner born and bred, I have yet to come across marauding muslims trying to whip and beat anyone. Or, for the record, places where non-muslims can’t go or where sharia law exists as some people seem to believe exist.

Maybe you should stop arguing emotion and go read the 14th Amendment. All kids born here are US citizens. The. End.

I dunno. You tell me kid.

I saw a bicyclist roll a stop sign and a car roll a stop sign and a pedestrian jaywalk. Everyone stay home always.

Counterpoint from a rules of the road fallowing Seattle cyclist:

You seem to be under the assumption that someone is suggesting cyclists just whiz past everyone willy nilly without checking for traffic at all while flipping everyone off. No, the only thing that was suggested is the cyclists should be allowed to slow down at stop signs, check traffic, and proceed if it’s clear, like

Cars are not bikes. The laws are all designed around cars and pedestrians, not bikes. When the laws designed for cars don’t make sense applied to cyclists, there need to be separate laws for cyclists.

Bike lanes are great for drivers because they keep cyclists out of your way.

They get to pass you at a light so you get to ram them into a car - sounds fair

Now playing

Educate yourself, yo. Yes, cyclists who blow through red lights are shitty and dangerous, but there is a good reason why cyclists push for laws that allow them to do rolling stops (rather than have to come to a complete stop) at stop signs—it’s call the “Idaho Stop,” and it’s because PHYSICS.
