Re: the poor driver who hypothetically kills me: whether or not s/he "deserves" her/his fate, s/he knew the associated risks when s/he got behind the wheel. If s/he didn't, s/he should've.

Re: laws, morality, etc. Too big for this thread, or even this forum. Perhaps we should seek out some Philosophy forum somewhere. My point is, one has to weigh his/her own priorities and goals whenever one makes a decision. For me, i'll swiftly break a law that no one enforces, that no one is endangered when it's broken, because probably nobody (beyond a few hundred forum regulars who like to get all pedantic about cycling etiquette, anyway) knows or cares about the law... so long as there's something in it for me. (And, yes, that includes truly paltry "rewards" such as a tiny little bit of convenience. Which is why I salmon up my street almost every day, if I ride. I never go the wrong way up my street when I drive, but not b/c of "morality". It has more to do with the fact that the one way law is more likely to be enforced on a motorist, plus the time I'd save over taking the proper way would be negated by the acrobatics required to park my truck once I'm home.)

Unless you're my mom or a cop in my hometown, I don't see how/why any of this would bother you.

PS- which laws did you break today?
