Bill you seem to be a good cyclist but there lies the problem when you think there're legitimate reasons to bend rules. The simple fact to me is there're no legitimate reasons to bend rules. Because soon as you defend bending rules, everyone and their uncle will come up with their own legitimate reasons to bend them.
Can you say because I got layoff so I have legitimate reason not to pay my taxes this year?
And cyclists makes up their own rule about turning, crossing, stopping and expect motorists to follow every different one of them. One time I have a cyclist telling me I am not suppose to pass them on the street because passing them endangers their lives.
As a driver I broke some rules sometime too but when I get caught, I don't have the luxury of coming up with my own legitimate reasons not to pay the fine. Why should cyclist be different?
