Interesting XKCD: https://xkcd.com/2932/
Similar issue when cycling: My goal is to always stop for pedestrians who try to cross the street, but I will never wave at them to cross because most car drivers behind me will not slow down, ready to kill the pedestrian instead.

@mszll I have tried the same with cyclists: I stop on the bikelane for a pedestrian crossing, but other cyclists behind me just continues 🤷🏻‍♂️

@sorenhave yes, happens all the time. Traffic is unfortunately all about the right of the stronger. At least cyclists have a much smaller probability to kill people.

@mszll @sorenhave when I’m on my big cargo bike, it helps to block for bikes from behind. I only do this for when I’m legally supposed to stop though.
