[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do red flashing school bus lights apply to cyclists? In traffic on MacArthur I just saw a speeding cyclist pass a school bus on the left while it was loading kids.  [b]An accident would have been as devastating as with a car for the kid[/b]. One more reason to hate them. [/quote]

No, it wouldn't have been.

But yes, when I'm on a bike, I stop for stopped school buses, just as I do when I'm driving.[/quote]

I think OP needs a better understanding of physics and bodily injury.[/quote]

People are killed by bicyclists every year and a child hit by a cyclist has a good chance of being severely injured.

OP, seriously, just stop if you can't tell the difference between a 2-3 ton vehicle hitting you at 40 mph and a 200-pound person plus bike hitting you at 15 mph.[/quote]

The difference is the car will dismember you, whereas the bike will only kill you through blunt force trauma or closed head injuries. So you'll still be able to have an open casket funeral.

Advantage: getting hit by bike   [/quote]

Put the bottle of wine down.[/quote]

Awwwwww, someone doesn't understand how physics works. [/quote]
