Okay so this thread will probably turn into an epic shit fight and get locked but lets try and have a grown up conversation for a moment.
What's up with people cycling on the road and running red lights and generally obeying road laws when it suits them? I don't get it and I'm curious as to why some people seem to think it's okay? My assumption (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) is that if you are a vehicle on the road (a bicycle is defined as a vehicle by the RTA) then you have to obey the road laws.
I know this has been discussed before but lets try and keep this particular discussion civil. I'm only bringing it as I genuinely don't understand it. And before anyone jumps on the 'stop worrying about what others do, it doesn't affect you' bus, it does. It's generally accepted that cyclists are taken seriously as a legit road user in this country and choosing to adhere to the road rules when it suits isn't helping our case.
