I pay ~50$ a month for insurance between my 325i, 4Runner, motorcycle, and scooter. I do my own maintenance on all four, and my two-wheeled vehicles are actually capable of driving on roads.

I'm going to demand right of way on the road and sidewalk at switch between them seemingly at random.

Oh yeah I'm also going to wear an all-black spandex outfit on an all-black bike in winter so I'm completely invisible during evening rush hour.

Cyclists on roads are at worst, inconsiderate and mildly annoying. Cyclists on shared trails are loving awful and the more they ring their little bells the more I want to just stand there and keep fishing. Even the loving horse people are less annoying.

I wonder how self driving cars are going to deal with places like New York, where the road signs for pedestrians are "white man says walk, red hand says also walk, you have places to be, gently caress everyone else"

Those Google cars yield to pedestrians, so expect complete standstill gridlock as pedestrians rule the streets.
Of course those cars do allow for driver override, so feel free to run over all those :smug: pedestrians!

Forget cyclists, pedestrians that cross the road when they shouldn't be, and taking their sweet rear end time doing it. Just wanna slowly bump into them to knock them over.

If the horse people were trying to take the trail at a gallop then maybe they would be as annoying. My issue with cyclists is that sometimes we are sharing a one foot wide trail with rules explicitly stating who has right of way (hint, it is never cyclists) and I have never encountered a cyclist who didn't seem to think it was their right to never slow down.

Honestly I am a huge fan of the idea that the slow should make way for the fast but it would be like me insisting on driving at a steady 80mph on a windy country road where I was pretty sure people would be riding.

Every single person (except me and kids, it seems like) who roller blade don't wear helmets. It's mind-boggling. The people without helmets I see are the ones on those bike share things http://bikeshare.com/
