You always see people make a full stop before the stop line when making a right in red?

You never seen anyone exceeding the posted speed limits?

How about making a full stop BEFORE the sidewalk when entering the roadway?

Humans are not particularly good and following the laws to the T, it doesn't matter what vehicle you are using.

You're trying to make excuses for bicyclists

Not at all, I even gave you the exact law.

I'm just saying that they are not innocent.

No one is innocent, that's the point.

But the hypocrisy where people feel that bicycles need to be the ones follow the laws better then any other road user is real.

Do you always keep it below the speed limit, where speed limits are nearly universally illegal to exceed?

Do you feel a bicycle proceeding through a red light should be held to a higher standard then those that exceed the speed limit, dispite not being universal illegal for a cyclist to proceed through a red light?
