>>we have rights on the road too!

In my state, bicyclists have rights on the road and legally occupy that part of the roadway UNLESS they are riding on the right side of the white line. If they are in the road, even if one foot from the white line, you cannot legally pass them in a marked no-passing zone. That's a moving violation which is a serious category offense (more than speeding, squealing tires, or missing brake light). The police almost never give warnings for these; they basically always ticket you.

Sure, you scoff at this. But how hypocritical are you with your no-fear? Try passing a bicyclist in my state when there is a no passing zone and there is a police care there. He'll ticket you. This is a more serious "Moving Violation" ticket which is much more worrisome than a mere speeding ticket. Those stay on your record even if the points do not. Speeding tickets disappear after awhile. All moving violations cost over $200 in my area. If you are on a driving probation (less severe than a criminal court ordered probation), a moving violation will cause revocation of your driving license for 30 days but not a criminal probation violation. 2 or more moving violations triggers driving probation where one more offense of any type results in 30 day (or longer) driving license suspension. So, 2 moving violations plus "driving with one brake light out" could technically result in 30 day suspesion.

A single moving violation increases insurance rates an average of 18 percent (unless you have good driving points to offset it).

Please note that these types of tickets appear on a criminal record in my area when an employer, apartment, or investigative firm does a criminal background check.

>>we have rights on the road too!

Moving Violations are considered to be a low-grade crime. It's like the first baby step stage of being a criminal.

Cyclists can fuck right off. Here in melbourne theres just not enough room for all the modes of transport being walking, cycling, driving, and trams. The cars are already gridlocked and they want to remove lanes and give them to cyclists.

Cyclists don't really bother me, it's the methheads riding around on stolen kids bikes. They'll come barreling out of a alley or the bushes or something and cut across a four lane road without ever looking left or right.
>>
Let's get a few things straight
1. Cyclists are better than you. They can afford to not only buy a $5k toy, they can take time off midday to go enjoy it. Needless to say they are also much more fit than you. Your jealous resentment could not be more obvious
2. You are never going to do anything about cyclists but complain. Here you are in the middle of the day whining about them on the anime imageboard. No, you don't buzz by or throw things at them, the fact that you pretend to do these things on the internet sheds a lot of light on your pathetic life.

You getting stuck for 5 seconds behind a cyclist sending you into a tantrum that you don't do anything about but share your impotent rage on the internet is like your whole life boiled down into a single moment. Your life sucks, you aren't going anywhere, and you know it deep down, and elite people like cyclists are just mobile reminders of that fact.

The worst part about fagsuit cyclists is that they are never actually more fit. In fact, their inability to go fast enough and exhibit enough control over their vehicle to compete in a serious race is what makes them so infuriating in the first place. They're a bunch of poorfags who saved up several tax returns to get in on a fashion craze and want to be "revolutionary" against the evil gas guzzling roadsters that their favorite democratic talking heads spoke against (while receiving money to avoid criticizing shit like manufacturing batteries for hybrids and EVs)

So a lack of a motor makes them less liable in traffic?

They don't have a motor, so it's not like it matters if their lack of training lead to them thinking traffic lights and stop signs don't matter, and it doesn't matter if their actions lead to injury?

So, no motor, no license, no insurance. Fuck having responsible citizens. I'm tired of paying for injuries I might cause to other people and following safety-oriented rules, time to get a bike and pretend I didn't know there were any rules in the first place.

kek you salty fuck. bikes don't cause hardly any accidents or injuries to anyone but themselves that you wouldn't pay for. to force people to obtain licenses would be financial discrimination. the fact they cause no damage to anyone either just shows you wish to do these things out of spite.

guess what, in my state motorcycles don't need insurance either. its never a fucking problem because bikes don't cause crashes. just like bicycles don't either. fags in cars like you do. thats why you have a license, thats why you have mandatory insurance in your excessively large death machine.

A plainclothes, reflector and light free cyclist illegally crossing an busy intersection caused a three car pileup at a local community college last year, but I'm sure it was the car driver's fault for not having superhuman reaction time and observational skills. Guess who insurance deemed to be at fault? Yeah.

Bikes don't cause crashes and when they do it's someone elses fault for crashing.

The law needs to change to reflect reality. Your little reign of irresponsibility won't last forever.

If the biker is in the wrong lane they are liable. If you hit them, one of you was in a section of the road they shouldn't have been in, illegally stopped, or going illegally slow for the speed zone

Which brings us to an important point

Why aren't bikes excluded from many roads by default since they can not go anywhere near the speed of traffic? The laws were made with roads full of cars in mind back when 99.9999999% of cyclists were in dedicated races with closed roads or kids and hippies riding on the side, not lycrafags going 3mph smack dab in the fucking middle of a mountain pass where the speed limit is 30mph higher than they're capable of going. if you were in a similarly slow car, you would be pulled over and told to get the fuck off the fucking road.

where's that 14th amendment?

>>15217198
They are excluded from highways, just like pedestrians. Anywhere else you shouldn't be barreling around blind corners faster than you could stop for a disabled vehicle or... a bike.

And that type of shit only happens in hugbox california. You will never see such things happen in the rest of the US. Regardless, everyone needs to slow the fuck down. Don't you fuckers live where there are deer? Do you just blindly twitter while careening your autotragic down the road?

This won't matter in court.
They are going illegally slow in every fucking speed zone and yet they are somehow except from this law. Horrible double standard.

If the road doesn't have a bike lane or a sidewalk you should not be allowed to ride on it, period.

Especially since you're just a grown man riding a bicycle in a place he shouldn't. It's not like they need to ride on these roads.
>>
>>15217223
There is no minimum speed limit in most of the US outside of limited-access highways. You know, thats why people can ride horses or take carriages on them...or you know ride a bicycle with full rights and responsibilities of a motorized vehicle?

Cops just pull you over in a car cuz they think you are drunk. Doesn't mean it is a law.

FALSE. They pay with taxes on their domicile and general funds taxes. Because they don't cause wear and tear on the roads like you do, nor drop the huge amount of gasoline and oil and asbestos brake dust that you do, they can be said to use disproportionately less resources taxwise than you.

Thus, the bicyclists are SUBSIDIZING the car drivers with taxes.

Pedestrian crossings should also be removed as they obstruct the flow of traffic. The same with crossing lights and "Push To Walk" buttons at traffic lights. Pedestrians obstruct traffic and should be removed or required to get a license to be a Pedestrian.

40mph speed limits means he can legally drive 40mph around a blind corner.
Are you saying that's dangerous? That maybe he shouldn't do dangerous things? Like riding a bicycle at 2 mph in the middle of the road?

Suitfags can't even make a single good argument without reducing it to "well the law says otherwise" which is basically "nanana boo boo" or being complete hypocrites.

That literally is not what that means. Please anon, go retake your fucking license test. That is the maximum allowable speed when conditions warrant. It doesn't mean you can go that fast around a blind corner in the rain you dipshit.
>>
>>15217359

the limit is for the TRUCK lane, if you're in the other lane its 70.

also even for the parts of the interstate where 60 is the limit, it'll still say 40 minimum, specifically for the safety of everyone including truckers

No. You obviously don't know the laws of the the state of washington. There is no "truck lane." That speed limit sign that says "60" says "trucks" below it..for big rigs. That is the limit in any lane for commercial rigs. The left and right lanes don't have different limits unless posted (ie on the pass or I5).

Bicycles shouldn't be vehicles, in my opinion. They're not a motorized vehicle, at least, which streets and roads are paved for. If you have a bike-only lane then your city had a competent planner. If not, buy a compact motorbike or moped.
>>

You seem to be confused, a lycrafag is someone in full aero gear, who doesn't obey traffic laws, who is slow or just average, and they think they're hot shit cutting people off and blowing through lights. I also wear lycra, but i obey the rules and give way. Thus, i am not a lycrafag. Like i previously mentions, both cars and cycle's have their share of bad operators.

man all these butt flustered cagers

i don't wear lycra, no one on the face of the earth wants to see that, other than bubba in a flyover state jerking off to his mailbox, since that's the only kind of box he has in his life

i avoid high speed, high traffic roads, and use cross walks to cross busy streets, since i ride my bike to puttputt around never to actually get anywhere so a few minutes here and there to not slow down traffic for people that might actually need to be some where doesn't do anything, hell if someone is tailgating me, i usually pull of to the side and stop, and let them go around, some people yell and scream for no fucking reason, even though i let them by some people are just assholes no matter what you did or didn't do

i follow the same laws as if i were a car, the only time i'm ever in the left lane or the left part of the lane is blind curves/crests, i don't need some asshole veering into me after trying to pass when there is oncoming traffic, being in the left part of the lane gives me enough room to brake if they try it, and the left lane is only for turning left, and there is only one turn i do that since hardly any cars drive down that street, other than that i just get off my bike and walk across, since i know my 200 pound ass will lose the fight with a 2000+ pound vehicle

i have to be careful at stop signs, half the time people around here don't even stop, where i do, so i have to let those assholes pass before the stop, usually people texting and driving, i see that more than other cyclists not following the rules of the road

You are not supposed to drive around a blind corner faster than you can see ahead to come to a complete stop in case of a stationary object on the road.

The stationary object could be anything from a rock that rolled off the hill to a stopped car in traffic. Hell even a car pulling out of a gap on a blind corner you will be held liable if the car even crossed the line before you came upon it.

You run into the back of a stationary object no matter where it is you are 100% at fault. You run into an object traveling in the same direction as you even more so.

You run into something traveling the opposite direction on your lane is probably the only time you can have any legal leverage on running into something.

i hate cyclists in my area, and let me tell you why

i spent my hard earned dollars lobbying and paying for bike lanes inside my small town and through some touristic routes close by (2 minutes walking away). they go through the entire town and all the roads for 3 or 4 miles, except for the one mountain road i use to acess said town. keep in mind, theres other roads, with cyclist lanes that lead to the exact same spot, in less time.

yet, the one mountain road that has no bike lanes (because there was no room to build them) is THE ONLY FUCKING PLACE WHERE I SEE CYCLISTS

literally i've enver seen a single biker in the fucking cyclists lanes, even after all their bitch and moaning, these licra faggots go to the one fucking mountain road which doesn't have bike lanes

No you fucking mong.
Too many of you cunts ride on our road and cause accidents, often completely unaware of why and how because you don't understand/respect road rules and etiquette.

If you're on the road, you need a license, you need to pay for insurance, you need to pay road tax and you need to learn how to use the road.

Have a license, Renters/Homeowners insurance covers personal liability, pay road tax on 2 vehicles already, and the laws say a bicycle has the same access to roads and laws to follow as any other vehicle. (except for interstate highways/autobahn/autostrada)

that's funny but I kinda feel sorry for him since he wasn't bothering anybody.

Passing on the right shoulder. When there is no right shoulder.

I wouldn't say he did anything wrong here.
Other than trying to go directly through the middle of an unknown depth of water. That's fucking dumb.

For fuck's sake, host the file somewhere it doesn't get deleted after 24 hours you dumb fag.

My uncle, the awesome, crazy bastard that he was, once leaned out the passenger side window, grabbed a cyclist's handlebars, and dragged him up to speed, for teh lulz.

He also used to drive into the red light district and whack hookers on the ass with broom sticks.

He was a tanker in the army during the early 80s. Man, what a time to be alive.

So because I pay road tax on my car and I have home insurance I don't have to pay tax or insurance for my 100T road train?

Cycling roads? I don't know about but where i'm from there's a dedicated bike/ped path, (also know as a multi use pathway) And bike lanes on roads. I've seen peds on both and i've never given any thought to it.

You'll be making up stories for your nephew about all the awesome stuff you did in the 2010s even though what you really did was sit at home on the internet

Well if its a rural mountain road, wouldn't it be a single yellow line, meaning you can pass with caution? Passing cyclist's isn't hard unless they're riding in the middle of the road going slow, which even as a cyclist, i can agree that its a dick move, but if they're on the side, is it really that much trouble for you?

>100T road train
>30 pound bike and rider
Because having a whole whopping 30 pound road bike and its rider really devastate road. We shouldn't let fat people use crosswalks either! They're way heavier!

You use the road, you endanger people, you take up space.
Any increased congestion increases pollution and road use, with people having to brake and accelerate more often to accommodate you.

Either learn the road rules and pay for the use of the infrastructure or quit crying.

We're not saying you have to pay hundreds and hundreds of dollars to ride your bike, just enough to cover increased road wear (see above, increased braking and accelerating) as well as insurance for crashes you cause.

End cost to you would be maybe $50 a year and a couple of screws to affix your license plate to your bike.

I'm a different anon, i wasn't crying about anything.

First and foremost, even with the amount of bikes that are being used today, the wear and tear on the roads as a result is almost negligible, and if you pay taxes, a cut of that money goes to infrastructure, which a road is a part of. And even though that amount is tiny, it should more than cover the amount of "road wear" that we cause.

Secondly, I have a hard time believing that having people insure their bikes would be a good idea at all. First you have people who don't even ride on roads to begin with, how would you regulate who has to insure and who doesn't? Would a mountain biker who uses his bike for the sole purpose of off road trail riding have to pay? You also have to take into consideration that there are not that many cases of cyclists causing accidents, when a cyclist uses the road as intended, and follows all proper traffic laws, you find that they are rarely the ones who cause accidents. It's the stupid kids on Bmx's and people who don't obey the law, which would mean that if you forced them to insure, they would probably just ignore it just like the other laws they are breaking.

And on congestion, someone riding on the side of the road with the footprint of 2 car tires, is not causing congestion. There are not nearly enough cyclists for congestion to be a valid argument for bike regulation.

The whole problem with your statement, is that you think people that already don't obey the law will suddenly obey it when insurance is required. I follow all traffic laws and ride to the side like i'm supposed to, and i have never been in trouble for the 2 years i have been cycling. Which i cannot say is the same for the 4 years I've been using my car.

Basically what i'm saying, is that there are equally shitty people on both sides, bikes and cars, and you shouldn't just blanket all cyclists as bad because the few you have come across are cunts.

I live in a rural area of Missouri, and there's not too many bikes on the road here. Most of the times I've encountered one, they've courteously moved to the side when there was room after they noticed me coming up behind them. Maybe it's a country thing, but people tend to try to not be assholes to each other here.

However. One of the very few times in my life I encountered a bike rider who was actually wearing the spandex or lycra or whatever shit, he was riding in the middle of the damn road like an asshole. Drove behind him for a good five minutes and he stayed right in the middle of the lane. I drive a Dodge W250 Cummins, so there was no way in hell he didn't hear me behind him. The road was a tight and twisty one with no shoulder in most places, but there was several stretches with enough of a shoulder for him to get over and let me pass. But he stayed right there in the middle of the damn lane, so I was stuck behind him for another ten minutes at least. During this ten minutes some more people came up behind me. By luck or karma or some divine justice, there was now driving behind this asshole bike guy a modded Cummins, a modded Power stroke, a kia, and another modded Power stroke. All very pissed off.

When the road straightened, a big fucking smile stretched across my face. It was time. I smashed the gas pedal and the glorious thundering noise of a tarbo diesel engine under load filled my ears. I got in the other lane and accelerated past the bike dickhole with my exhaust spewing a thick black cloud of smoke all over his spandex wearing ass. I stayed on it until I was well past him and got back in the right lane. With my hopes high, I looked in my driver's side mirror. I damn near pissed myself as I watched two juiced up power strokes and a Kia optima pass this guy at full throttle, smoke and hamsters just flying out their exhausts. By the time they were all past I could barely see the bike dude anymore.

Even the lady in the Kia was laughing her ass off.
