I called you clueless because you attacked me personally instead of my
arguments.  If you have anything worthwhile to add, then by all means do
so.  But don't insult me and pretend that in doing so you're defending
your point.

I have been making my arguments from the point of view of a driver who has
to interact with bikers.  That's my viewpoint.  I'm not a biker, and I
have never claimed otherwise.  I don't need to be a biker to know what
it's like to be a driver who must interact with bikers.  I don't need to
be a biker to see that bikers have fewer responsibilities in certain areas
than drivers.  Don't get me wrong here, I'm not making a statement of
rightness or wrongness about this situation, I conceded that point
yesterday.  I'm merely saying that the situation exists, and that I don't
need to be a biker to see it.
