I am not) until something happens to them and they start preaching "Why isn't someone saying or doing something?". Just because we are not Police Officers does not mean we keep our eyes and mouth shut!
Exactly wrong. I am saying "why are YOU doing something" that is none of your dang business? Robert Hurst pointed out in his posts, your "safety" scoldings are not about safety at all, but just ego driven lectures on strict compliance with the rules, regardless if they are applicable, helpful or safe.

Your admission of "my bad" applies to all the times you mouth off at strangers on the street with your anal strict compliance "safety lectures. Other cyclists do not necessarily share your "opinions" and may not recognize the Good Samaritan that you imagine you are.
