    when cyclists [don’t] look [and] don’t see drivers on the road

    me at almost every goddamn intersection. The auto lanes have only been there for about five-six generations, I guess they still need time to get used to them… >.>

    Whoops. Wrong instance.

        Every time you get behind the wheel of a car, you kill fractional human beings. Some from emissions, some from collisions, but statistically, for every km traveled, some fraction of a human being dies. Casually going to the convenience store for some smokes has a moral component. People hate it when things they want to do have a moral component. They will convince themselves that black is white and up is down to avoid engaging with it.

        I think the starting assumption in any accident investigation should be that it’s the driver’s fault. That’d encourage appropriate caution. But it’s undeniable that some cyclists (and pedestrians) are suicidally reckless.

      Do you say “it’s always the damn car driver” when you saw another car do something stupid?

      But of course, it’s the cyclist that is bad.
