I stopped at a stop sign in the middle of my lane and some guy who wanted to turn right pushed my bike with his car, so too bad, I could care less how much I piss people off, I'm not putting myself in harms way any more.

Do you apply this philosophy to other areas of your life too, or just cycling? To take this to its logical (and hyperbolic, over-the-top
) conclusion, there are a select few among the population who are not mentally well and become murderers. Because they don't follow the laws of society, why should you?
