Handing out big fat ...Easier said than done Carmi. Handing out big fat tickets to cyclists who blow off traffic laws is a a nice plan in theory. But while cars always win at the physics game, cycles always win at the agility game. Meaning "you have to catch them first" and as easily as they disappear by accident, disappearing with intent isn't a great leap. Further, since cycles aren't -- in most jurisdictions in the US at least -- licensed or registered and require no driver's license it's not as simple as pulling over a car and running a plate to find out who you're ticketing. Additionally, a significant percentage of cyclists are those either too young for a driver's license or who have had theirs revoked or suspended. so while ticketing scofflaw cyclists is a great idea, it's practically unenforceable.<br /><br />And since we're on the topic, the argument that cyclists have just as much right to the road as motorists is at least slightly flawed -- at least in most jurisdictions in the States. Motorists pay registration fees and vehicle taxes, and in some cases road use taxes and even fuel taxes in order to help maintain the road system. And as we've just discussed, the same laws don't apply equally to both groups.<br /><br />In short, we cannot achieve <i>equality</i> between the two, but it may be possible to achieve some sort of <i>equity</i> if both groups are reasonable enough. There aren't many of them, but there are a few bike lanes in my town. All posted as No Parking zones during certain hours (mainly hours when the schoolkids would be using them for their commutes). Given sufficient space and some white paint, more of these can be marked off, but even then cycles don't easily mesh into the traffic pattern. That is, a cycle legally in the bike lane gets creamed because he's in the blind spot of a car making a legal right hand turn across the bike lane. Who's at fault here? Better question, who's maimed or dead here?<br /><br />But I've already considered your experiment when I contemplated converting to pedal power to get to work. And realized very quickly that my life expectancy would plummet if I made that move. <br /><br />Unfortunately I don't have an answer that will satisfy both groups and be cost effective enough to actually implement. But I do have a photo. (You knew I would didn't you?) Though I went with something a bit more literal and a lot less dramatic.<br /><br /><a href="http://mojo11.blogspot.com/2009/09/thematic-photographic-65-perspective.html" rel="nofollow">Thematic Photographic 65: "Perspective" v.1.0 - Just Like They Taught Us In Drafting Class</a>Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-47459272978409538282009-09-02T22:42:03.079-04:002009-09-02T22:42:03.079-04:00Okay, done.

When there's no cars around, that's what I hold to around here -- it's too hilly to do otherwise. <br /><br />And yes, I wear my Road ID.
