Poll 1 + poll 2=Bike lanes are bad.
In general, the conclusion you are pointing to is true to some extent. Many car drivers like to rely on hard and fast rules. I'm in my lane, clearly marked by white lines, therefore I can do anything within this lane because its mine and anyone coming into my lane is violating my right of way and if anything happens, I won't be at fault.
Not a smart way to drive, but very common in my experience.
Just a suggestion, HH. Instead of running the poll as if it were a deposition in court "So you admit that ......", just state your theory and ask people to comment. People don't like to be bashed over the head. You might get less knee jerk negative reactions and more constructive commentary.
