this reeks of American-style "those are the rules, and some people made those rules, so people need to follow the rules, because the rules are meant to be followed." reasoning. as far as i can tell, your claim is that you are perfectly justified in running over cyclists committing minor traffic violations, and in fact your list makes your "emotional trauma" equal to or in fact even more important than "death or serious injury for the cyclist", simply "Because the cyclist was in the wrong". nowhere in this comment or even further down the replies do you actually explain why they're wrong, merely more circular logic that they're wrong because they're wrong.


That’s not what I’m saying at all, but you’re either too worked up or don’t want to understand this.

I’m saying that right of way is the least concern; instead, cyclists should be cycling very defensively.

You seem very happy to let cyclists get killed, to promote your own PoV though.


Your avoidance of the issue is almost impressive. You should run for president! First you aggressively claim "maybe a lawsuit against the cyclist for damages, if I want to be an asshole. Because the cyclist was in the wrong."; now you claim that "I’m saying that right of way is the least concern". Forgive my skepticism that I am the one that wants cyclists to be killed.


You’re the one suggesting cyclists can safely go the wrong way down a one-way.

Maybe in other countries, but that’s a no-no in the US.

If you care about cyclist safety, then don’t spread misinformation.

Wrong-way cycling the single largest cause of cycling accidents, where it was the cyclists fault.
