The best part of driving a shitbox is that I don't have to care too much about it.

Then they’ll block your road, get out of their fancy car and assault you for hitting that precious car.

I was on a bike path when a car driver cut me while exiting a driveway and I bumped my wheel into his back bumper. Well, he stopped, got out of his car, whined that I didn’t do “my” stop and ended up slapping me twice in the face… because he cut me and I bumped into his car…

So even if you have an old car AND it’s not your fault, they’l still be mad at you for existing and being in their way.

Don’t you know? He’s the main character. NPCs are supposed to move out of his way.
Sounds like a lot of bikers I see blowing through red lights and stop signs. Obey the rules of the road or get on the sidewalk like a normal pedestrian.

I’m the one making the comment and you’re the one assuming I did something wrong because I was on a bicycle? Or is this “a lot” exaggerated and biaised?

Anyway the said rules where I live is that riding on sidewalks is illegal. Cyclists are not pedestrians and should not be mixed with them.

I was legally on a cycle path, had priority, was cut illegally , was slapped by the driver making an illegal move, and you’re first thought is to point out that “lots of bikers blow red lights”?! What?

Cyclists are not pedestrians

Wrong. Going by weight, speed, visibility, protection and turning radius cyclists are much closer to pedestrians than 2 ton vehicles going 35 mph. That’s basic physics.

And it’s not illegal to ride on the sidewalks where I live. Not that legality has any bearing on what is logical. Laws are made up for those who whine the most or have the most money, not what is logical.
