They should be “cracking down” on everyone who commits moving violations in congested cities—motorists and cyclists--because when either’s violation leads to a car-bike collision, the cyclist looses.  And we’re in agreement that they should be arresting motorists whose violations lead to deaths.

Yep, you’ve revealed yourself to be a troll. No one cycles at 4mph. Most people walk faster than 4mph. Bicycles on the street typically travel at 20-25 mph and typically do not break this velocity, even slightly, for red lights and stop signs. At least the motorists who don’t stop slow to a 2mph roll. Please put…

You’ve missed the point—I’m referring to a coordinated enforcement campaign combined with *NEW* enhanced mandatory sentencing legislation. Neither is currently existing, as far as I’m aware.

We agree, but that’s not what I was talking about. Please re-read what I wrote.

Not even close to what I wrote—I’ll summarize for a fourth time below.

Point 1) A car blowing through a “standing” red light or a stop sign, as though it wasn’t even there, is more dangerous than the same car pushing a stagnant yellow-to-red or CA rolling a stop sign. (Hopefully I don’t need to explain why this is the…

Once again, to clarify. We can agree that people “California roll” stop signs and “push” stagnant yellow-to-red lights everywhere in the country. What I was referring to is the full-on running of “standing” red lights and stop signs, as though they didn’t even exist, and which is many times more dangerous than rolling…

Yeah...they do. And it has nothing to do with what I’ve seen on the highly sensationalized—and many times “fake”—news. Having been a cop, I’ve known enough of them to know that most officers are enthusiastic about doing their jobs, out of a sense of doing good, making a difference in the community, and yes, enjoyment…

I don’t agree at all. Law enforcers in the US *love* cracking down when given the opportunity, especially on supposed killers. Many times to the extent of just killing them in the street.

I think we’re in agreement—people “California roll” stop signs and “push” stagnant yellow-to-red lights everywhere in the country. What I was referring to is the full-on running of “standing” red lights and stop signs, as though they didn’t even exist, and which is many times more dangerous than rolling stops or…

Any motorist who intentionally tries to hit a cyclist (or motorcyclist, for that matter) should immediately be charged with aggravated attempted murder and conviction should carry a 20 year mandatory minimum.

I can’t speak for NYC, but I’ve lived in the San Diego metro area for over 12 years now and it’s a rare case to see a car run a full-on red light or stop sign. On the flip side, I cannot recall the last time I saw a cyclist stop at either, unless not doing so assured their immediate death.

PS: To head-off any questions…

And *everybody* who commits moving violations in congested cities should be cited for them—motorists and cyclists.

Tiger Blood, actually.  After which he was shoving massive amounts of his body into porn stars.

Personally, judging by the many concept cars of the last decade and their reception by the public , I think big, glamorous coupes are going to be an upcoming new trend.

Correct take. I’m able-bodied, but find it more difficult (relatively) to hoist myself up into a higher riding vehicle—even one with running boards— than to sit into a common sedan. I can only figure this to be more so for mobility-challenged individuals.

CUV’s/SUV’s are a trend, just like every other automotive body…

At least in San Diego, for every retiree in a faux yacht captain’s hat driving a C-something Corvette, there’s a Streetspeed717-type flatbiller bro in a nicely modded C-5 or C-6 (likely bought used), with track chalk still on the windows, and usually driving like he stole the damn thing. So young car guys are indeed…

If you’re trying to posit that context doesn’t matter for the use of certain words, then I respectfully disagree. I see a substantive difference between calling someone “queer” who’s pissing you off for no reasons involving sexuality, and calling someone “queer” who you know or believe to be gay because you despise…

I see a nuance between inappropriately using a slur-like term as a synonym of “idiot” or “asshole” versus actually using it as a slur, to specifically attack someone in the affected group. But I understand that many people don’t. However, context is everything. And if the word, by itself, were homophobic, then members…

Thank you. I’m gay and I don’t take this language, uttered in the heat of the adrenaline rush while piloting a car at 200mph on a race track, to be “homophobic” or anti-gay. Especially if no one involved in the “conversation” actually is gay (or queer). Inappropriate and distasteful language, to be sure, and very poor…

You’re surprised that a car salesman would say something stupid??
