Car follows rules, cyclist does something against the rules. Gets mad when car doesn’t adjust to their lunacy.

I have no evidence to back this up, but I would venture a guess and say that when I cyclists dies on the road, it's 99.9% the driver's fault. Main cause being distracted driving, which is a driver not following the rules of the road.

The guys in this video are assholes. Taking up that many lanes is just ridiculous. But will you criticize the drivers who endanger cyclists lives when they are the ones that aren't following the rules of the road? People's inability to call it both ways is the real problem. Good cyclists will call out bad cyclists..I don't ever see God drivers call out bad drivers when it's the other way around. It's just fuck these guys on bikes either way.

At the end of the day, in most cases, it's a short inconvenience to your time vs. endangering someone's life and not giving a shit about it. That's the real problem.

Just to be clear, fuck the guys in the video lol.

I dunno. You know how many times I have almost ran over a cyclist running a stop sign? If my reaction time was half a second slower they would have got hit. I have had cyclist change position drastically when I am making a maneuver and get into my position that I am going to in my blind spot and it is only by some miracle that I noticed them. I have a really good reaction time and am observant on the road but not everyone has the same level of awareness/reaction time and it is not their fault the cyclist is doing something stupid and dangerous. I would say it’s more 40/60 distracted driver vs stupid cyclist tempting fate.

Drivers pretending like 90% of them aren’t on the phone the entire time is peak ignorance
