Reply to comment by chuckie512 in What is the rationale when bikers go to the front of a line of cars? by TonyUncleJohnny412

Dude you are being intentionally obtuse.

Says that bikers are subject to the same duties as cars. I’m not about to find the particular section that says you have to stop at red lights and can’t just pass other cars in non-passing lanes. Like what is your argument? That bikers aren’t subject to the law? Can do whatever they want?

I'm just saying that what you're saying is illegal isn't. You can't even post the law that says it is.

Sorry that a cyclists trying to not die at a red light ruined your day because you were behind them for 3 blocks.

Lol ok dude, you’re right, bikers aren’t subject to any laws or regulations. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Fun fact about our government: you can't be subject to a law that doesn't exist.

Hope this helps you pass your elementary school civics test!

I’m not about to spend the time finding the exact statute that says vehicles (which bikes are considered per the fucking link above) have to stop at red lights and can’t just cut to the front of the line whenever they want. Feel free to die on the hill that there are no traffic laws. Bizarre.

Lol stay mad bro.

I'll be sure to stay in the middle of the lane and pedal extra slow just for you next time I'm in squirrel hill.

You've sat here crying about it for three days, so I'm assuming you've already put the time in trying to find the exact statute and couldn't. Because it doesn't exist.

Guy probably thinks the bike boxes/advanced stop lines around the city are just green pieces of street art.

The issue here is that I don't think he thinks about it at all. The issue here is "someone is going faster than I am/passing me and that's unfair and makes me big mad."

 
You see that sort of behavior on the Parkway West going towards Robinson all the time. People will speed and weave through traffic to get to the front of the pack and stay there. Just their lizard brain screaming "I HAVE TO BE FIRST" at them.

 
Arguing about the legality of it is just window dressing to make his temper tantrum sound reasonable.

There’s a link above saying cyclists have to follow the same laws as drivers. Not sure what else I should have to provide but go off king.

You keep claiming that PennDOT is deliberately encouraging cyclists to do illegal things in their official publications. That's one hell of a claim to make and you've presented nothing that would convince me that PennDOT is actually doing that.
 
Keep seething about being passed by a cyclist though, because we all know that the actual problem here is that you got big mad about it, not whether or not it's allowed.

Nobody is “seething” my guy. You come in with a horrible attitude and insult people and expect them to treat you with respect. Don’t know how many times I have to explain that PennDOT says you can lane filter in a “traffic jam,” but it’s clear you don’t want to have a real discussion. We both know you know it’s illegal. I’d respect it a lot more if you just admitted it.

Have a terrible night!

Then call the cops over it, you big fucking crybaby. Call the cops and tell them you're big mad about a cyclist that delayed you by 18 seconds three days ago.
 
Or just keep seething, either option is funny to me.
