If this bill passes maybe the brain dead idiots who blow through stop signs
will think its their right to blow through stop signs. Then they can get hit
by cars. That would be great because then they won't be able to ride bikes
anymore. Then I won't have to shake my head everytime I see a cyclist not
riding defensively, which will save me both time and energy. Every time I
clip out of my pedal at a stoplight and wait will be a moment of silence and
prayer for the fallen.
I support this bill. Its a perfect way to weed out the dummys.

I think this has been done to death. Let's just drop it and get on with
our lives.

'Zactly. I'm going to do what I've always done. Stop when it's the
right/safe thing to do, roll through when I can, and assume that anything
with
4 or more wheels is going to do it's level best to kill me.
You can argue all you want about this bill being a
waste of the legislatures time and I wouldn't
disagree. But to say it will have any impact on
accidents or drivers perception of cyclists is crazy.
This bill won't effect in the slightest bit how people
cycle. We will all continue to cycle as we always
have, all of us. Those who stop fully at stop signs
(are there any?) will continue to do so and those who
just slow down, look and roll through will also
continue. Don't get so worked up over it.

Don't we as riders have
enough trouble with cars now without this bill. We
already ask drivers to
watch out for us now and now we ask even more. To
come to a stop sign and not
come to complete stop just because you don't want
get out of your clip
piddles is just being lazy.
I'm not looking forward to seeing all the people
being hit by cars in the
chat room. Stop and think about how dumb this bill
really is.
