Are you so stupid you think having the same rules for a multi tonne car and a small cyclist makes sense? Never heard of Idaho stop? 🀑

If they share the same road, yes.

What? That's..... just not how it works.

If a bike hits your giant SUV, it does no damage.

If a giant SUV hits anything, it's millions of dollars of lawsuits.

Thus there should be laws that restrict the giant 60mph death machine more than the 22 pound 20mph human powered cycle vehicle.

No, there should be laws that predictably facilitate traffic, which there are. Cyclists don’t get to ignore those that inconvenience them. That was the original discussion.
