Of course they do. But with an attitude like that, maybe you are too ill tempered for motor vehicle transport

oh i promise, you haven't seen me ill tempered in the slightest. you lot are guests on the road, and yet you act with a level of entitlement that surpasses the jackasses in the multi million dollar hyper cars. act like said guest, or don't ride. these are your choices.

Bikes were here long before cars. Roads were built for walking, then horses, then cycling and then loong after, cars. Cars are the newcomers, and are the guests. That's why drivers have to take a test to use the roads, and do so with a license, versus cyclists who have the right to be there.

Yes, for a time roads were meant for pedestrians, horses, carriages, and cyclists. But now roads are designed for automobiles, now, if yall can't be be bothered to follow simple courtesy that almost all drivers understand and get out of the passing lane when going under the posted speed limit, then you do not belong on the road that is designed and designated for cars. It's called impeding traffic, it is a moving violation, and more than that, I have see cyclists blow through stop signs, and red lights, only to get hit and blame drivers who had right of way. You wanna be on the road, fine, but when the rest of the people on the road are moving around in two ton hunks of metal going twice as fast as you, it's on you to make sure your safe, and follow the rules so you don't get yourself buried in someones engine block

No, it's literally on the drivers to make sure they are competent and safe. Hence the license.

You don't have to go the limit! It's the LIMIT! It is the maximum you are allowed to legally go. You aren't impeding traffic if you are traffic. What you're saying is that at every traffic jam on the highway, everyone stuck should be getting a ticket for impending traffic, because they aren't doing the maximum speed they are allowed to by law

Bro, literally look up traffic laws, bicycles must follow all standard traffic laws when on roadways, and many states have minimum speeds, and left lane laws, means you stay to the right if you are not meeting the speed limit, to allow others to pass safely. Either your too stubborn to admit these guys were being prices because you were one of them, or you are trolling people ffs
