If you make the same violation in a car, you get a traffic ticket. In a bicycle, you go to criminal court. This is why this is considered unfair.
I missed that, yeah that does suck.
Not to mention in a car you're putting pedestrians, drivers and other road users in danger. On a bike you're pretty much just putting yourself in danger.
Yes I know its possible for a cyclist to injure/kill a pedestrian, but its very very rare compared to cars killing people.
I’m pretty sure you’d get a bit more than a traffic ticket if you drove a car on the sidewalk.
That is correct. Good job.
