So while some point out how they can't understand how someone can drive the wrong way round a roundabout (me included), I'm not sure I understand what causes everyone (me included) to not obey the rules of the road. Certainly there is a shortage of enforecment.(10-17-2017, 10:51 AM)NotStan Wrote: There is broad non-compliance across the board. Just this morning I saw a bicyclist driving the wrong way in the bike lane on Wes Graham Way. I'm surprised this still occurs. I can't believe bicyclists are allowed on the streets when they don't know simple rules of the road like this. I guess all bicyclists should be re-tested every 5 years to stay on the road.
Yes, cyclists operating such dangerous equipment as a bicycle, I mean cyclists kill literally tens of people worldwide. What a horror show!
Can we drop the false equivalence?
