If I suggested that drivers police their own, that would be ridiculous. Why do you think I can or should do the same?
@bikepedantic I've tried the "police our own" thing twice, it was hard work, and accomplished nothing. And-also, anyone who says "obey the laws if you want respect" is a gaslighting liar, I tried that for 35 years, and it does not work, I am owed decades of respect at this point.
OTOH I heard Cam had started ticketing for running the LPI, so now I am Team Malicious Compliance, watch me ride straight down the center of every sharrow even though I don't need that space.
@bikepedantic "Don't ride there"
@bikepedantic states that have implemented Idaho stop arguably did change rules to match a common and reasonable bicyclist behavior, though unfortunately my state has failed to do that because our governor sucks
When drivers violate the rules en masse, transpo folks study it, implement things that change behavior, and sometimes just change the rules to match behavior.
We don’t do any of that with the people who ride bikes, because riding a bike doesn’t qualify you as a full-fledged person in transpo world.
