If I Owned the Road
Recently I found myself in this situation:
And I wished I could show this dude what would happen if I really did own the road. Things would be very different.
I wouldn’t have to take the lane ever again. People would have their roads back, and they’d be safer because…
Bad behavior wouldn’t be tolerated.
And parking wouldn’t be so free and flowing.
And that’s just the beginning.
No, drivers don’t realize how easy they have it. But, how about we make it a little easier for people?
I just want to be able to cross the street without getting hit and run by a clueless motorist. Six times struck in three years, and five of those being hit and runs while crossing at an intersection, is not acceptable. It didn’t stop it from happening, though.
I would love to link this to my blog if you dot mind? So freaking awesome!!!!
I drove trucks for a living. I drive a car when I need to and a bicycle or small motorcycle by preference. Sometimes semis really need to be in the city. I did not like it. But I had to. Motorcycles. .. um. ..I don’t like loud pipes either. But understand the thinking. My small bike gets 100-135mpg my “big” (250) one gets 60-65 but will keep up with traffic on country roads and highways. I avoid super slab when I can. I had enough windshield time. I do want to comment though that I see a lot of fellow cyclists running lights and not following traffic rules. I would like to see tickets for cyclists. Because face it. .a lot of cyclists are as rude as car drivers. Ride right!
As always great post. I think a great way to foster better road respect for all would be to have some kind of biking info/test/rules for new drivers. Like on the drivers road and written tests.
Explain “TRUCKS WOULDN’T BE ALLOWED IN THE CITY”
This doesn’t even make sense..
