The crux of anything I post is that if you get in a cars way-choose not to yield
you're are going to hear about it eventually. If you make a concious effort to ride this
way, how can you be surprised or upset when the inevietable happens ??
Look at the number of post right now that prove me correct.
But, for some reason, you ME's (militant extremests) just cant get it.
Im not blaming anybody for anything. Read. Comprehend. Respond accordingly.
You are responding to something that has nothing to do with what I wrote as you
and a few others do to most of my posts.
Lem,
I think you have completely missed what vc is. It is nothing to do with being militant or asserting more than one needs to be safe. No vc I know will intentionally delay, slow or 'take a lane' in front of faster vehicles when there is a safe and practical alternative. Vc is about the give and take sharing of the road with motorists and about communication and respect.
You may have vc confused with CM, where there the purpose for some (but not all) participants is to militantly take over more of the road than needed and to become the dominant traffic for a stretch of road or intersection as a way of asserting rights.
