[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Idaho Stop business is really pernicious. You can’t tell one group of people they don’t have to follow the rules without everyone else asking why they can’t do the same. It really teaches the public that traffic laws don’t matter.[/quote]

There is no such thing as 'the rules' that universally apply to everyone. Different laws apply to different modes of transportation. For example: pedestrians are required to walk on the sidewalk, if there is one; drivers are forbidden from driving on the sidewalk; bicyclists who ride in the road must ride as far to the right as feasible, unless they're turning left. Drivers need a driver's license; pedestrians don't. Children on bicycles must wear helmets; children in cars must be in car seats but do not have to wear helmets. And so on.[/quote]

If Idaho stops are good enough for cyclists, they’re good enough for me in my SUV[/quote]

Are you also upset because pedestrians don't have to have a driver's license, don't have to stop at stop signs, and get to use the sidewalk?[/quote]
