Reply to comment by danieltkessler in Why are people going down bike lanes the WRONG WAY!? by [deleted]

See the thing is, cars in a city take less precedence than biking, so if it makes sense to cross a double line into oncoming at a 4 way going slow (which it often does - you can wait unsafely amongst a throng of car line if you want though), the car can fuck right off. It’s quite satisfying actually, you should try it.

Literally who gives a single fuck about some idiot trapesing through in their car. Nah you can defer to everyone around you because you’re dead last on the totem poll after the city crews and garbage trucks that are of more importance!

It’s kind of comical to see the car addicts get all up in arms about stuff like this. It’s such a non city mindset, like where do these people come from? Have they even been to other cities? States? Countries?

Americans are really funny when it comes to how they just cannot handle it when someone “gets ahead” by “breaking” the “rules” 😂

Ohhhh nooo the poor Volvo got angry because the biker crossed the line ohhh nooooo! Won’t someone think of what could happen if the paint job got scratched? Oh noooo the horror! What a joke, pure nannyism

I saw them going down Inman St and it looked like a group of folks unionizing from coffee shops - I saw some signs that looked like the Starbucks logo and also heard them chant about Darwin’s.

You’re right. They just don’t know the law. What makes it funnier is how they’re extremely arrogant and confident about it despite it being blatantly obvious to anyone who knows how to drive

For the record I drive. I also happen to know the laws and accept I can be ticketed if I pass a vehicle that is turning on the road by crossing the double yellow.

Just because it’s common practice doesn’t mean it’s legal. The only time you’d have a case is if the road is obstructed by an illegally stopped car or a broken down car.

Listen. At this point I have no other choice but to feel one of three ways.

Worried- that you are a mentally unstable guardian of an autistic child.

Sad- that you are someone whose hobby is weird almost cryptic trolling of relatively small subreddits.

Or a little proud - that this, what we have to believe at this point, is some kind of deep layered performance art that we need to stop blocking and start exhibiting
