Bullshit. Cyclists obey the rules of the road at greater rates than drivers. It's just that you expect drivers to behave like entitled dipshits, so their lawbreaking is less visible.

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 hour ago

Yeah. When every car is breaking the speed limit and it just gets ignored. But bring up speeding and oh that doesn't count.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So much to dissect here

First: drive(cycle) predictively, not politely.

Second: I just left a comment about not liking car culture(go on, check my profile. I'm not lying.)

Third:I don't expect anything! I get into the other lane if there is a cyclist. But go on, tell me more about myself.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh, I did do that, didn't I? Crap. I meant it in the general-you sense. But still, cyclists obey the law more often than drivers when researchers do objective counts.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 5 points 1 day ago (2 children)

cyclists obey the last more often than drivers

Yeah. My limited experience in addition to statistics, says you're correct.

Didn't mean to start an argument, and I'll apologize for it.

I'm sorry.

[–] Turret3857@infosec.pub 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Now kiss!

slams 2 dolls together

Don't tempt me with a good time!

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago

No, my apologies! It's even a personal rule of mine to not tell people what they believe and experience.

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I’ve never once seen a cyclist stop at a stop sign. Even into oncoming traffic they just ignore them and hope for the best.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Are cyclists supposed to stop at stop signs there? Here they aren't. They are supposed to treat them as yield signs

[–] criss_cross@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

In my state they are expected to follow the rules of the road and stop at stop signs and traffic lights.

[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago)

It varies by state.

Edit: if I recall correctly, bicyclists in PA are supposed to obey all the same traffic laws as car drivers except they aren't required to maintain the same minimum speed, and they are allowed to ride on the shoulder.

However, it's been some time since I looked into it.

[–] SwingingTheLamp@piefed.zip 4 points 1 day ago

I stop at stop at stop signs, and see others do, too. So it happens. Probably as often as drivers stop at stop signs.
