I follow the law closely and treat my bicycle like a vehicle on the road.

I've been hit 4 times by people running stop signs and red lights. All hit and runs.

It's not like every car on the road is driven by model citizens.

What's funny is most of the time i see people raging about cyclists running lights, its completly legal. Plenty of states have the "red dead law" which means you can run a red light, provided you stop at it and run it when it's safe. So it basically just means cyclists can treat red lights as stop signs

where I live its totally legal and I get dumb cagers raging at me all the time cuz they dont know the laws of the road

Hit and run is so rampant cars really should be forced to log their locations at all time. Perhaps a system where if there is a hit and run collision the vehicle is required to identify if it was at the location at the time of the accident.

A cyclist is most vulnerable when they aren't moving. If you are stopped you can't avoid anything. You can't even easily jump out of the way without awkwardly unstraddling the bike. When you are moving you have options, left, right, hop the curb.

this x100
you are also most at risk of being left hooked when you stop at a light and wait
when the car next to you moves forward, it hides you from the person turning
i have almost been hit like this before
even if you have good lane positioning, you're still invisible for several seconds
if you can see far in both directions and nobody is coming, its safer to run it

I've started staring at drivers in cars next to me at red lights. If they don't make eye contact, I assume they haven't seen me and act accordingly. This saves me from 2-3 collisions every week.

Always treat every cager as if he has every intent to brutally murder you and break the law where appropriate to assure your safety.
Been doing that for 14 years and haven't got hit once... and not for lack of cagers trying.

Pretty much this. I always used to proceed on red. Safer for me and less annoying for the stack of cagers behind me trying to make the next light. But there have been a couple of cyclist fatalities on my route lately, vans making illegal turns, stuff like that. Inevitably, the cops respond by ticketing cyclists for minor infractions.

So now you cagers get to stack up behind me at every light. I make sure to take the middle of the lane too. Suck it faggots, you have a problem with it maybe you should stop hitting cyclists, or talk to the police and have them enforce the laws evenly.

The only correct solution is the one where cagers are forced to not hit you. They always want to hit you, they want to not see you, you have to force them to see you by being right in front of them.

You should make cagers mad before, rather than after they hit you.

This is what I mean; just fucking look. Just fucking look.
Before I open doors or turn or anything in my car, I always look. When I come across a one way street, I look left and right, when I see other motorists only look to the direction a car could legally come from. Can your really not look?
Just Monday I was fucking doored on Washington in Philly, a city FULL of bikes, because someone couldn't look. Wonderful bike lane design there. Maybe if niggers didn't tint their windows black I could look myself but until then, it's up to fucking them.

>>1088557

This, since putting 1% effort into being a bit more calm and giving others a tiny bit more time commuting becomes much more pleasant.

Everyone is trying to get somewhere and the 3 seconds you loose but not riding like a cunt makes everyone's day better.

No, they just really don't cause a problem. They're either not causing a real problem, just making cagers cry, or they're taking the lane in a city situation, in which case you're not going fast any way because of the traffic.
Cars cause the problems.

>>1089136
No. Motorists don't look in a direction a car cannot come. You're going straight, and someone makes a right without signaling, because they can't be bothered to do that either, ya just got right hooked.

The worst time I was hit by a car, I was actually in the wrong, because I was riding along the left side of the road (Against traffic here), and some asshole made a right on the street I was on, at a fast speed without stopping because he only looked left, not both ways, and assuming no one was there or coming.

Fuck you.

No. At least in my state, you keep right unless turning left or passing (Afterwhich you return right.) Elsewise it's illegal.
Weaving because your kindergarten ass cannot keep at the speed limit, which is also illegal, is dangerous whether 'everyone does it' or not, in fact, likely moreso.

Honestly letting small vehicles ignore lanes solves a lot of space problems in small cities. Lane splitting isn't inherently more dangerous than anything else if the rider is aware of his surroundings, but all forms of two-wheel transportation are inherently dangerous whenever they intersect with automobile traffic.

Mopeds and bikes are most popular in countries with dense cities, warm weather, and high cost-of-living (or low income). In most of these places, accident rates are high, but transportation is cheap, and more relevantly, space is at a premium.

California is honestly one of the few states in the US best suited for an expansion of motorcycle/moped popularity, mostly due to density in SF, weather, and cost of living. Although dense areas like SF should probably try to separate two-wheel traffic from autos as much as possible.

in my country they don't put solid lines where the cars can safely return to their own lane if the reverse traffic shows up at the legal speed. they put the lines at corners or mounds or visibility is otherwise blocked.

it's not a fucking joke and bikers cause serious danger because of them being on these roads. technically of course the ones that pass them will cause the accident directly but it would never happen not for the biker and it's pretty fucking predictable.

And here we have a perfect illustration of the problem: ignorance. I am legally obligated to stop. There are big signs everywhere saying I, the cyclist, am required to stop, per state law. There are cops everywhere watching to make sure cyclists stop, and stopping them and writing tickets and issuing fines when they don't stop. And yet, you fucktarded pedestrians keep doing this. As a result some people stop, and some people zoom through, creating a snarled mass of fast moving bikes, stopped bikes, stopped pedestrians, and grinning stupid pedestrians staring into space like they're tripping their balls off. All because pedestrians are willfully ignorant of the law and proudly boast of their ignorance to everyone who will listen.

you described dead red law VERY poorly. dead red law is for when induction sensors cannot detect a vehicle, so after THREE MINUTES a motorcycle or bicyclist can run a red light, provided there is no traffic. it is NOT a law that you essential described as being "two wheeled vehicles can run red lights if they look both ways but cars cant". thats a severe misinterpretation. it is specifically to prevent law abiding motorcyclists and bicyclists from having to detour for intersections that cannot detect them

As a new rider:

When I drive my car I become annoyed at cyclists who cannot get away from the lights in a timely manner, thus holding me up or preventing the maximum amount of cars getting through the junction before the lights change.

Therefore when I ride my bike and come up to a red light I mount the pavement and become a pedestrian.

Do drivers prefer this or does it make them more annoyed?

it's fine, but there is a problem, when the first car tries to make a right turn he has to give you the right of way to pass as a ped. and he will hold up all the cars until you pass to much the same effect or worse than if you just went right ahead.

well here is simple for you:
>red = stop
>green = go
that's simple.
what is not the fucking clusterfuck of rules when there is no light not to mention you usually have no clear indication of having the right of way, which will result in a lot of hesitation from drivers unfamiliar with the area which hinders traffic then on the other hand drivers that think they know what's up and drive from routine will eventually miss the changes in traffic rules like somebody puts a new table up or removes one they will just drive as usual possibly causing an accident.

i think we have over 200 various scenarios of right of way in the drivers exam. that's how many you should remember years after. most could easily be eradicated with simpler rules and removing unnecessary shit about trams. just put a fucking light at every crossing involving a fucking tram at least!

if we only had about like 2-3 rules about right of way and there would be clear indication for all participants if they have right of way or have to yield it would be simple as fuck.

also the most retarded thing: puting stop signs and lines at places where you can't see fuck of the incoming cars or bikes you have to yield to. this is so widespread that people almost never stop at stop signs they just crawl through otherwise it would create an impossible situation. sadly when you crawl trough until you see what's coming you already put the nose of the car into collision curse with a bike that keeps to the right.

better organizing the traffic and surroundings of roads and simplify the traffic code is a logical thing to do not some comment barfed out about how "_those_ people are just ignoring the rules - or fucking exist - it would be fine otherwise"

the amount of time ive seen motorists take ages to get going when the light turns green makes this a literal non-issue that you're overthinking. Who cares if a car doesn't make it through the light?

What? You can't be this retarded. You come to an intersection, and whoever got there first goes. If you both got there at relatively the same time, it comes down to who is going straight and who is turning. Again, behave as if there was two cars, and not a car and a bike.
It's not my fault you are retarded.

>>1092245
You're right, that's why I wasn't hit by a car three times. That's why, driving around, I don't run into half a dozen people in a six hour shift who don't signal in time or at all. That's why I never see anyone speeding-ever. That's why I never have to slam on my brakes because an asshat rolled through the stop sign to peek out (Or maybe never stop if I weren't there?) instead of coming to a complete stop. That's why motoritsts shout at me to get on the sidewalk, even though it's clearly illegal in my area.
Kill yourself. The written and driving exam is a fucking joke, it's never taken again, and with the amount of damage you stand to do in your vehicle, you're just NOT held accountable. Sorry, Charlie.

the "traffic exam" for a cyclist is common sense and personal agency. If i come pedaling up to a red light or a stop sign and i can see the entire intersection and there's no chance of a car crossing, im going to yield a bit and then run it.

And to add to that, when a cyclist bends the rules, you're complaing because you are jelous that you cannot do the same. When a motorist bends the rules, not only is the potential for harm greater, but you can kill two peoppe and make your escape unharmed.

Cyclists are usually much more aware of what's going on around them, as opposed to a motorist. I would trust a cyclist to "bend" the rules over a motorist any day.

however i agree that there's no reason why motorists should bend the knee so hard to "the rules". I had a guy yell at me about running a stop sign the other week and i just kind of laughed and kept riding

the penalty for fucking up as a motorist is usually a dent in the bumper and an insurance premium rate hike. The penalty for fucking up as a cyclist is injury and sometimes death. This kind of atmosphere leads to cyclists having to be "hyper-vigilant" and therefore much more informed about what is and is not a bendable rule

that's totally situational. you don't have to keep a single fucking rule if you are alone on the roads. but the moment there are others participating in the traffic the safely ignorable rules shrink very hard.

this bikers pay more attention is pure undiluted bullcrap i see them every fucking day they pay zero attention. they don't even look around when they cross an intersection more than half of them have their ears plugged with a headset listening to music no doubt.
i can't even tell you how many times a retard tried to pass me from the right when i used the turn indicator ahead of him and was slowing down for a right. they were lucky i knew they were there because often enough they are right in the blind-spot for the mirrors when i would turn.

commuters are the worst to be honest. they give the least amount of fuck about both traffic and rules. i have sen spandex fags participate in traffic as they should i have even seen them keeping up with the motor traffic, but these assholes on their granny bikes are pure suicidal.

we would have a fucking slaughter on the roads if the drivers didn't protect these fuckers very carefully anticipating their every stupid selfish retarded move.

you dont have to swivel your head 360 degrees to safely pass an intersection, especially when you dont have the inside of a car giving you "blind spots". plus how are earbuds any different than someone in a car with the music turned up?

> they were lucky i knew they were there because often enough they are right in the blind-spot for the mirrors when i would turn.

>commuters are the worst to be honest. they give the least amount of fuck about both traffic and rules.

Commuters who spend the most time interacting with traffic and who often ride similar routes every week are usually the most knowledgeable about how and when to ride """""dangerously""""" (as you say) since they spend the majority of their riding time in the same, easily predictable environment

So I was driving in my city (Jersey city) at slow speeds (because lol if you can even make it past 25 in the day), and a bike runs the red cross and I have to stop short to not kill him. Please don't do that I have a plug in hybrid so I run silent in cities as is!

You could make the same argument from a cager's perspective. "Looks safe"
If you're harder to see and more vulnerable you need to err on the side of not having a dumbass cager ram into you.

Yeah, that's my point. CARS are the dangerous element added, and that's why you shoulder more responsibility, including following mote rules and having potentially harsher punishments. (Though traffic infractions are hardly enforced considering how much they happen)
You're acting like bikes popped up last week. Stop being a fucking child.

Cyclists don't really need harsher punishments. Being hit by a car is punishment enough.

Education would go further than punishments. People are actually just stupid and if you tell them that the dumb shit they do is dangerous, with some emotional appeals like pictures of cyclists being power-washed from the tarmac they'll ride safer.

it usually how it is. "he should have watched out better for the cyclists" is the usual line when a bikefag breaks all the rules and gets hit.

How about this: When you buy a bike it should come with a little road safety booklet. Except if it's used, but then you'd still expect the person to have access to a booklet somehow. But really, we just need a fucking road safety booklet for cyclists; where cars can see you, where they can't, stop running red lights you fucker, and general advice on how not to get murdered.

Then when they get murdered they have a reasonable expectation of it's their own damn fault for purposefully making it more difficult for people in 2 tonne killboxes to see them.

uhm... if the driver is texting or high on drugs maybe the car can see you, but you still get hit.

sure some situations are inherently more dangerous than others, but relying on others paying attention for you to be safe is retarded in my book.

bikes are not dangerous to cars concrete pylons and trucks are. obviously people pay more attention to avoid the things that can kill them. it's not human nature it's the entire animal kingdom that evolved this way.

Most crashes i've seen were when the driver didn't see a biker and didn't give them room when illegally passes the biker... Sure they run redlights (people jay walk too) youre just mad bikers get to cut a head of you in line and make it through traffic quicker. Get off your fat ass for once! Luckily i live in a city with lots of bike lanes. Last case i saw where a biker was hit by a car in a bike lane here ended with the driver losing his home and complaining about not being able to send his daughter to college

I'm an avid bike commuter and if I saw a cyclist run a red light or stop sign and get hit, even I would blame him for causing the accident.

Cellphones and such reduce the person's focus so you definitely want to be easy to see in that case. If you want to ride on the road you have to face the fact that you need other road users to react to you.
If you don't like this, take the bus.

Or maybe instead of acting like we cant fix it, we have a better drivers ed, and harder test, and harsher punishments.
Someone drunk drove a car I was in into a concrete barrier, hitting MY fucking side, I really could have died there, and they only had to pay like a hundred bucks and didnt even lose thier license for a year. Only a couple months.

My view and yours are mutually compatible. Punishments for not paying attention should be extremely harsh, simply because as a cyclist, it's a requirement for my safety that people don't hit me with their murder cages.

yeah no, you have to pay attention as a cyclist so you don't get under the wheels of things heavier than you.

drivers only need to drive predictably and follow traffic rules. that's all that is required of them. they don't have to be particularly concerned about your safety that's your job.

i crossed yesterday a street where the two directions got separated by a piece of grass and crosswalk. the fucking idiot driver surprised my by taking the right turn on the opposing traffic sign. i always look for cars that may want to turn and cross my path, but this surprised me.
