[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Also, if they are so intent on being treated as vehicles (their legal right to use the public roads, etc.), then how about the equivalent of auto-insurance for bikers, or bike-licenses (along with all the fees MOCO likes to collect when registering a car). "

The comment on insurance is funny and points to the interesting perspective that some drivers here have.

What would the insurance cover - what damage do bike riders cause that are their own fault?   First, I think most of the damage is done to the bike and the rider.   Second, I think most bike-car accidents are likely the result of a car driver's decisions.  Is the bike at fault when the car driver makes a bad decision to pass and crashes head-on into another car?  No.  Is the bike at fault when the driver slams on his breaks and gets rear-ended?  No.  What's the damage that's being done by slow bike riders?  Damage to the car driver's ego that they can't go faster and are being held up by a measly bike?

Well, there was the damage done to my right front quarter panel when a bicyclist rode into it full tilt.  I was at a standstill, by the way, waiting to pull into traffic.  Guess that big black SUV was hard to see..........[/quote]

How was your right quarter panel hit if you were waiting to pull into traffic?[/quote]
