Reader: When a car driver makes a mistake around a bicyclist, guess who might get killed
Categories: Comment of the Day
The debate about bicycles, cars and road safety that began with Sam Levin's post about Doug Linkhart's Bike to Work Day accident rolled over into a Comment of the Day from a reader who thinks bicyclists should lose license points when they break traffic laws. Today, we hear from someone who feels those on cyclists shouldn't get all the blame.
Doug Linkhart.

I forget sometimes that all drivers are perfect and completely follow all traffic laws. It must be bicycles causing all of those traffic accidents all over town. I invite you to come stand at 3rd and Bannock and witness how many cars barely bother to stop, stop in the crosswalk, or don't bother to stop at all.Follow and like the Michael Roberts/Westword Facebook page.If a bicycle rolls a stop sign and runs into a car your car might get scratched up. If a car rolls a stop sign and runs into a bike the cyclist might die.
