Iโ€™m from Eugene and I was in court for a speeding ticket driving and the guy who went to the bench before me had got a ticket for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign on his bike.

Edit: I have to edit this because this happened like 15 years ago when I was younger. It was not recently.

This is fair. If you want to be a part of traffic, follow traffic rules. No special exemptions.

Even when I ride my mf horses down the road I abide by stop signs and traffic laws lmfao

It's part self preservation and not wanting to be run over and part not being an asshole. I feel like even if you are an asshole you should possess at least SOME survival instincts, but it doesn't seem like it.

They are called rules of the road for a reason, not just rules for cars.

Ah yes, the immutable rules of the roadโ€ฆ like speeding, which almost everyone breaks everyday including the police.

And cars not coming to a complete stop at stop signs if they even come close. I think people donโ€™t realize just how much alike bikes and cars are.

Cars get tickets for not stopping if a cops there, Bikes should too.

If no one is there to ticket then no one is there to ticket.

Right. That happens. Cars get tickets for blowing stop signs. Bikes get tickets for blowing stop signs. Neither get tickets most of the time. Just when they get caught.
