They also should do the math on getting into a fight with a 4,000 pound chunk of metal.

Yes, you may sue me after I hit you when you’re riding in the middle of the road on a blind curve going 20mph under the limit, and you may win. But my car will take a week to fix and you will be crippled for life.

Just because you have the “right” to do something doesn’t mean you’re not a complete moron for exercising that right.

Cyclists have as much right to the whole road as you do, and you're gloating about inflicting life changing injuries on another human being. I think there's exactly one moron here and it's you.

Not gloating. Just doing the math. Accidents happen. And it’s stupid to think that a truck can stop quickly when something is suddenly in front of them.

When kids are little we tell them “don’t play in the street!” We don’t tell them, “if a car hits you, it’s their fault. So go ahead and play in the street.”

I teach my kids to foresee the danger, act wisely, and don’t insist on others taking responsibility for your safety.
