You're trolling.
Basically you're saying "sometimes cyclist don't follow traffic rules"
As you're justification why OP must've been in the road instead of the bike lanes they specifically mentioned. It's nonsense.
You have no argument, you just don't like people riding bikes because you once saw a guy not following rules on a bike. Give me a break. Why are you here if you only want to defend cars even when the evidence clearly shows the car was at fault? Why are you here if you want to exclusively blame cyclist for every bad thing that a driver does?
You're trolling. Go home.
Go learn how to stop at a stop sign
I don't own a bike. I walk and drive.
Stop at stop signs
You are such a foolish child.
You once saw a person run a stop sign in a bike, right? They put their own life in danger .
A car runs a stop and they put other people's lives in danger.
It's not equal at all. The car is worse, it's a lot worse.
Stop looking for excuses to blow through stop signs. Rules of the road are for you too.
I've never gotten a single ticket in 20 years of driving. Maybe try telling that to a mirror instead.
Typical BMW driver, you refill your blinker fluid yet?
I see more cars refuse to stop at stop sighns than bikes, so Go learn to stop at stop sighn?
Stop looking for excuses to run a stop sign.
There are no good enough excuses for you to ignore traffic safety.
look, you speak of ignoring traffic safety, but what about those 3 kids you mowed down last week?
Stop looking for a strawperson argument so you can ignore the rules of the road.
