A friend of mine used to live in an apartment that had a view of a 4 four 
stop sign. I was watching the intersection through the window. In about 
an hours time I noticed that NOT ONE motor vehicle stopped at the stop 
sign unless there was another vehicle already in the intersection. Do we 
conclude by your 'paranoid' (your words) logic that we stop all motor 
vehicle traffic because motorists have not earned rights??

You have a selective memory. Secondly you WOULD like bicyclists to behave 
in such mean and nasty ways and really believe that all bicyclists have 
horns on their heads and all motorists have halos. Continue the fantasy. 
Maybe you can wrote a book.

BINGO!!!! All sorts of people using the roadways break laws. Some are 
more visible through your rose colored glasses than others...
