The problem is not cars, it's the scooter users and their total lack of awareness.
A few days ago in the middle of rush hour some nutjob on a scooter went from the sidewalk on 6th Ave to the road itself and proceeded to turn 3 lanes of traffic to make a left turn on 11st while cars are screeching and honking nearly causing an accident. How do you report those yahoos?
I personally think anyone on a road should have a license and insurance including cyclists. Seen many cyclist cause accidents include one cutting traffic for a 3 lane turn and smashed head first in a car in a blind lane. The guy cycled off while the poor lady in the car is in shock while she has a major dent in her side door. Car drivers get dinged for careless driving, cyclist and scooter users should be too.
