Legal Question: Jaywalkers.

[GMScud]

When I have to hit the brakes for someone who just decides to cross the street randomly nowhere near a crosswalk right in front of a moving car (live a day in DC and you see it a dozen times), I ALWAYS honk the horn. Eff you. Sidewalks are for peds, roads are for cars. Obey the damn rules.

It's like my ongoing beef with all the people who wear their fancy biker spandex in Rock Creek Park and on Beach Road and ride their bikes like they own the road. Why should I yield to you and/or get out of your way when you run every freaking stop sign and disobey all the rules cars have to obey?

Thank you! Bicyclists love the double standard of being treated like a car when it helps them, and being treated like a pedestrian if it helps them. Go buy your poor ass a car. If you're riding for fun, get the **** off the road.

I'm running for Congress on a pro hitting bicyclist and jaywalker campaign. Time for some REAL change in DC!

SS -- wasnt the guy Donte Stallworth hit a) In a crosswalk. b) Donte was drunk?

Hog1 -- These cars do everything in their power to avoid these people, and I haven't seen anyone hit... yet. Hell. People will wait, in the street, to cross where there's a blind turn.

Whats wrong with my "fancy biker spandex"?

JK I hate those guys on Beach Road too. Every Saturday and Sunday like clockwork.
