MODERATORS
Where did I write they were directly equivalent or as bad when I didn't? Such an idiotic response quite honestly. At least address what I actually wrote not what you imagine I did.
This not a tough concept - the legal consequences for road users of varying types should be similar. Assholes on bikes are a thing and they should suffer the through the same legal framework as their vehicle brethren.
So, same punishment when crossing red lights, hmm?
Well, of course, you CAN have that opinion.... Whatever your motivation might be.
My opinion is a bit different. Cars can do more damage than pedestrian or cyclist crossing the road on red. Most times only endangering themselves. An this was my point above as well.
If you cannot or don't want to understand that and call people "idotic"... Well, I guess it only reflects what kind of a person you are.................
There's only one person whose taunting tone forces the other on the defensive here.
