You definately have a point, sir. People should stop breeding, just for a little while atleast. The best part about abstaining from breeding: you DON'T have to have any less sex! Birth control was such a great idea. Those Godless Commies got something right!

Just because you stop doesn't mean the next dumb ass with his headphones blaring is even going to LOOK at what might be about to happen to him.

There's a very good reason that so many people hate cyclists. They make large dents in your front end, and they usually don't give a crap about anything else going on around them. The few who try to set a good example are far too few- there are simply too many retards on bicycles to trust any of them at all.

If people are that ignorant about the rules of the road, they should not be able to get or renew their driver license.
The stupidest and ugliest manifestation of this view is when people think that, like pedestrians, bikes belong on the sidewalk, not on the road, thus inspiring them to bray insipid orders at me to get on the sidewalk as they drive by.

Uhm, i would hope that EVERY motorist in the state does this. If you're at a marked cross-walk & you're either a cyclist or pedestrian, YOU have the right-a-way to cross REGARDLESS of the green light!

Unless you WANT to get run over, then you'll definately have something to whine about.

Who does this? WHO DOES THIS? I $%#^& do this. It's not "like to pass", it's "OMG there's a bicycle and it's going to disregard traffic regulations and cut in front of me so I'd better stop now! even though my light is green and there's cars behind me because my car can take a hit better than the bike and rider."
