But seriously, though: if it were hand-to-hand combat, cyclists would have an advantage, on average. That’s both because of better physical fitness, and also because they can pick up their bicycle and throw it.
I bring my kid to school on a bike. I follow the right-of-way rules at the 4-way stops and at left turns. But every day there are 1-3 drivers who wave me ahead, and refuse to move until I go first. I don’t care what the rules are - I just want consistency!
Oh man, that’s also my pet peeve. And it’s a no-win scenario, too: either you go out-of-turn and contribute to normalizing the bad behavior, or you refuse and make them think cyclists are ungrateful. Either way, it makes things worse for cyclists in the long run.
Justice crash!
