No, everyone is accountable, if you are on a skate board and you careen into someone walking you are just as raccounabke as a driver.
If your bike rams into a parked car because you were on a phone, you are still accountable. Everyone needs to watch where their going.
Yeah, the skateboarder has more kinetic energy than the pedestrian…Of course, the skateboarder won’t kill the pedestrian like the motorist would. If you can more easily murder someone with your mode of transport, you should be held more accountable for poor actions that could easily result in death.
So know you are claiming I am a bad driver? I don't even drive, but you can't travel beyond your own street with out some form of mechanical transport.
Bikes are as limited as walking and a bike rider would still have to watch out for pedestrians.
repeat everyone needs to watch where their going.
Your mistake in your car is much much much more likely to mean my death on my bike than the other way around. One of us is piloting a killing machine, and it ain’t me
My point has always been both need to pay attention, a pedestrian walking without watching where they are going can be equally dangerous. why is this so controversial?
Yeah, call me when a cyclist is going 90 in a 60 on I494 near my house. Until then I’m a hell of a lot more pissed about the drivers I deal with than the occasional cyclist with earbuds.
