Bicycle Blvd - People Behaving Badly

[promontorium]

In your video "Dual Headphones" (R-NQeGauqLc) you said "The hands free law also applies to bike riders as well." So is it a law or not?

[TVman1981]

@promontorium When that segment was published (2008) there was still some confusion about the hands free Law. Most law enforcement agencies believed the hands free law automatically included bicycle riders since the were covered under the California vehicle code until a judge threw out a Bicycle Hands free ticket setting a precedent, so now they want to plug the loophole. I hope this answers your question.

Liberals don't seem to follow any rules.

@216trixie

its sad that you jump to the conclusion that all bicyclist are liberals

[216trixie]

@Djrockz415 ..No, it's sad, that if I randomly grabbed 100 bicyclists from Bezerkely, 99 would identify as liberals or something left of that.

I admit, I ride my bike on sidewalks sometimes depending on the street. When riding on the street near parked cars, I've had doors of parked cars open right in front of me. I can ride on the sidewalk when needed without being a danger to people on foot. I never ride near building doors where people exit. Also, when riding with traffic, if it's a narrow street, I've had people drive by way to close when there is no bike lane. Sometimes riding against traffic is safer, all be it, not legal.

I thought it was already a law. Lots of people say it's a law.

[JacktheSmack]

@promontorium Maybe in certain cities, but not state law.

[JacktheSmack]

I think laws like this are useless because they do not protect the well being of others. Someone in their motorized vehicle using a cell phone or texting is distracted, and their vehicle can hurt or kill others.

A person on a bicycle doing these things is a danger to only himself, except in an extremely rare and freak accidents that belong in the movie Final Destination.

I don't bike, but I think this law is silly.

@JacktheSmack Someone who gets hurt on their bike may result in a call to 911 and tax money will be spent helping them. It's better that they don't get hurt.

If drivers won't follow the hands-free law, I'm sure bike riders won't either, sad to say.

retard hypies!

[AznPwnageFTW]

YAY 1st comment! I ride my bike very often and..... I mean the road sometimes just doesn't favor bicyclists but the problem is that sidewalks don't exactly either.
