By Al:"I'm sure the freight train incident was scary. The difference is that you were 10 feet away and the train is on tracks. That train isn't going to jump out and hit you.
Sigh.........a 80 car train passing at 75 mph creates enough suction as it passes to pull you under.
When you let loose with the horn hope that the cyclist is by himself. I'm sure with witnesses your horn honking could get you in trouble if you caused a crash. Now all you need is a big dog in the back of your truck barking."
I have a lid on my truck bed.Nice try-any more non-sequiturs?

Thank you for taking the trouble to look up the statutes regarding traffic laws. Do they have any about obeying the speed limit, too?
And thank-you for your vain attempt at deflecting the point.There are no references to speed in the statutes pertaining to bicyclists.

My point is we all bend or break traffic laws occasionally, and that is what the police force is there for. If some vigilante gets upset by being passed by a group of Cobras doing 100 mph, does he have the right to do physical harm to the cars and/or drivers if he catches them?
Another non-sequitur.A group of Cobras passing at 100mph effects no-one(assuming no physical contact).However,bicyclists spread out 2,3,4,5,6 abreast as mentioned previously DO effect others.
With regards to your use of the word"occasionally",yes,everyone does "occasioally' break the law.But bicyclists do it CONTINUALLY.
