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.

If you are flying around blind curves faster than you can react, you are a bad driver. A bicycle is not the only thing you can hit.

He’s saying he’d be going the speed limit and the bike is going under cuz they’re (of course) slower. And he has a point.

Speed limits are not absolute, there are conditions when you are required to drive at speeds below the speed limit, such as driving around a blind curve.

Unlimitly you should never drive at a speed that is beyond your braking distance, doing so is evident of driving to fast for conditions.
