I sincerely think that someone parked in the bike lane (or fire lane or other places you’re not supposed to park for safety) should forfeit the protection of law. While your car is there, anyone inconvenienced by it should be allowed to just do whatever.
People are like “well I was just there for a minute!” and I’m like it takes less than a minute for a cyclist to swerve around the ill-placed car, get hit by some other car, and die, so that doesn’t seem convincing.
I just don’t care that you need your car to be there for personal convenience. Deal with it instead of making it everyone else’s problem.
![[meme] Car brains, citing vague "freedom of movement," often say that it should be OK to run over protesters on highways. In turn, it should be legal to set fire to cars parked in bike lanes.](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/b6058a64-70f8-45b0-8431-9b4597d43e94.jpeg){kind=link}
