As a broader perspective, everyone needs to stop trying to teach one another lessons on the road. It's fucked up the rage people go through with blowing horn or banging on car hoods when some dickwad wouldn't wait their turn at a light blocks an intersection or crosswalk. Yeah, it sucks, calm the fuck down.
But fuck every car and CYCLISTS blowing threw stops and crosswalks. Y'all need to respect pedestrians.
Stop the dick waving. Stop escalating the situation.
Stay in your lane and you won't have these problems, dipshit.
This is equivalent to them handing you a business card. You're welcome to call 911, but good luck with that.
My wife and I were assaulted by a road-raging driver who misunderstood the law and decided to use his vehicle to threaten us and endanger us and others to prove his point. After calling 911, reporting the partial plate and vehicle data, gathering witnesses,and waiting... the police never showed up. Later they talked to me on the phone and said they couldn't (wouldn't) do anything anyway.
We're playing by Idaho rules out here. Way safer for the cyclist and saves time for everyone else on the road. If you don't like it, grow a pair and join us! Or continue to stew in your flaccid car induced rage.
Share the road works both ways.
Yes, you can bike anywhere on the road. Maybe tootling along at 10-15 mph in the middle of the road in the dark, downtown, because apparently you feel like it is not the best idea.
The driver is not justified but riders of motorcycles don't seem to do these "look at these JERK BITCH DRIVERS GOD DAMN" baiting tactics and actually ride defensively to keep themselves out of harm. Bike riders should follow suit. Nobody reacts positively to entitled slow fucks.
He was completely within his legal right to be in the general purpose lane. That's why they call it "general purpose lane" and not a 'car lane." Full stop. Forget all these comments saying he should have been the in the bike lane.
The driver clearly wanted to road rage at the man who was biking just to show him a lesson and had NO REASON to.
Also, forget all the "both sides" BS, he clearly slowed down and looked both ways before continuing across the street with the stop sign. Do you see any evidence of not yielding to people walking? No, you don't.
That said: So it's a "sorta stop sign" now? OK. I'll look forward to the video of this biker being knocked across the road by a car that has the right of way as he runs the sign. Then everyone can come back here and bitch about the car driver. Until then, everyone have a great day.
I wonder if they still make those...
...oh yep
Is he more of an asshole than the driver? No. But he's still an asshole. Clear up the log in your own eye before telling your enemy of the mote in his eye.
He is not blocking. He is traffic. And yes, that is a poorly designed bicycle lane that has maybe a few inches of usable space between car doors suddenly opening and traffic to the left.
The driver is an asshole for passing the cyclist without giving him enough room. The cyclist is also an asshole for staying in the traffic lane when there's a perfectly good bike lane RIGHT THERE. And I say this as a dedicated cyclist.
