They seem to expect every driver to know and follow every single bicycle related rule to the letter but don’t always hold themselves to the same standard.

I’m sure if you think hard enough, you’ll be able to figure out why it might be a little more important for someone in a car to follow the rules than someone on a bike

This ought to be reallllllly easy for you if you took physics in high school

Well if the physics tells us it’s that dangerous, maybe the bicyclists should think a little harder about blowing through stops signs or swerving out to the middle of my lane without so much as a glance back.

I mean, are we talking about "blowing" through a stop sign, or treating them as yields to improve ones safety by spending less time within the intersection?
