I dunno, do many of them even consider their actions? I suppose the ones that do, do use that excuse as justification.
Apart from the obvious differences (size/speed/weight) of a car over a bike, is it not equally as irrisponsible. You are just as impaired on a bike as you would be in a car and could cause the same amount of carnage.
Sorry to sound dull, but in a world where we as cyclists spend alot of time whining about car drivers should we not be trying to keep clear of any areas which could result in bad press for cyclists?
