Their “rules of the road:” no bikes on road or public ever

lol see like 90% of Reddit posts involving bikes. Somehow the biker is ALWAYS at fault

Because a lot of car drivers seem to think they know the rules of the road but they actually don’t

Had a guy scream at me to share the goddamn lane as I was doing exactly that. It made no sense. I couldn’t figure out what he thought sharing the lane meant, riding on the sidewalk?

My top three reasons drivers do this:
– They interpret norms as laws, i.e. don’t go slow or don’t go below the speed limit is a driver norm they think as the force of law, even when the laws says something like: adjust to conditions.
– They know that driving aggressive and bullying people on bikes discourages people from biking.
– People can’t handle power and they’re basically weilding way more power whilei driving a car than they do in most other parts of their life.

My favourite is the: “RIDE ON THE RIGHT!!!”
…as I’m making a left turn.

On my ebike, taking the lane and waiting at a nightmare-ish highway-feeding 2-lane double roundabout, I had an older woman roll her window down and yell at me “you shouldn’t be in that lane!”. I didn’t respond, I just waved.
1/3 of the way through the first roundabout she had to slam on her brakes and wait for me and a few cars to pass, holding up traffic behind her. She got in the wrong lane solely to yell at me and ended up creating a worse situation for everyone.

They mean “might is right.”. Because the car is “might”
