Of course you do. I drive too, and I see too many idiots on bikes.
Just about every motorist I see is flagrantly breaking traffic laws: speeding, rolling a stop, running a yellow, cutting someone off, not signaling a turn or lane change, passing too close, following too close...etc. So, yes, after living car free for years I just don't give a **** what motorists think about me. I just want motorists to stay the **** out of my right of way and not endanger my life.

Ok, I understand. What you said is that you don't care what motorists think - what you meant is you don't care what their opinion is about you.Originally Posted by spare_wheel

Any way the guy in the car can collect damages from the cyclist?

Ouch that hits close to home. Not because I occasionally disobey traffic rules or because I don't always wear a helmet....but because I have a 60's corvette!Any way the guy in the car can collect damages from the cyclist?

if you are a cyclist and you break traffic laws you do so at your own risk...not saying you shouldn't, but if you are you better have lightning reflexes, a responsive bike, and damn well know what you are doing.
