"A lot of people believe they should have the right to run over any cyclist and drive on away."

Bullshit.

I wish it were otherwise. I was nearly hit by a car while on a scooter in Hoboken and when confronted, the driver justified it by saying I shouldn't even have been on the road. Cops had no interest in explaining the law to them.

I've had drivers ACTIVELY try to run me over on my bike. I also had a bottle thrown at me while I was riding. Try riding a bike around here sometime, it's intense. Also look at some articles on cyclist deaths in NYC. Drivers are rarely punished at all. Murder could be legal if you do it with a car.

Talk to conservatives (and Democrats can be conservatives too) over the age of 45.
