Very few car drivers think that they or other drivers are breaking the law.  In reality, we are frequently breaking the law.  We just don't see it.[/quote]

The most universal infraction  by drivers is driving over the speed limit. That was not on the list above.  Whoever wrote the list above specifically avoided the infractiont that people on bikes rarely commit, and that the vast majority of drivers commit most of the time. [/quote]

The general feeling is that driving over the speed limit doesn't really count as breaking the law, unless the person is driving at truly ridiculous speeds. (And something like 37 mph in a 25-mph zone doesn't count as a ridiculous speed...)

Here's what I don't understand: When I'm riding along legally, minding my own business, just trying to get where I'm going, I'm apparently invisible. Lots of drivers don't see me, especially drivers who are turning.

But apparently EVERYBODY sees me go through red lights constantly - which is really weird, because I never go through red lights.[/quote]
