Wrong fml

How does it go? "As a pedestrian, I hate drivers. As a driver, I hate pedestrians. But no matter what I am, I hate bicyclists."

Inconsiderate or not, if you hit someone with your car you should stop to help them out. At the very least. I hate bicyclists who think they own the road and don't obey they law. But if I were to hit someone I would definitely help them.

I hate to break it to you but no matter what a pedestrian has the right of way. Cyclists ( at least in my state ) are considered the same as a car and are allowed in the road and follow regular driving rules. I come from a family of runners and cyclists and every one of us has been hit at some point by an as like you who thinks we re being inconsiderate

30- Pedestrians have the right of way when they are in a crosswalk (in the US anyway), otherwise they are jaywalking which is actually illegal. Yes, the driver has the responsibility to control their vehicle and avoid hitting anyone, but that doesn't mean the pedestrian "always has the right of way". That attitute would get you hit by a car pretty quickly in some cities I've been to.

Pedestrians do not always have the right of way, if they did we wouldn't need crosswalks. If a cyclist is treated the same as a car then they should follow the speed limit and go at least 40 in a 40.

Speed limit doesn't mean "at least", it means "no more than". Because it's.. the limit. Your maximum limit is that speed. :P

A car is considered to be unsafely driven when driving less than half the speed limit and the drivers license can be revoked and a hefty fine issued. If a cyclist is on the road, they are considered a vehicle here, but the police don't apply the rules to them. I say they should have their vehicle impounded and a $2500 fine for unsafe driving, just like anyone else who darts between cars and drives 15 in a 35mph zone.

We can't rule that out, yes, but could you imagine getting directly hit by a car on a bike? That's gonna hurt a lot! And in many places, bikes and cars are on the same boat!

*bicyclists

not unfortunate, maybe it'll tech em to get out if the way.

An unfortunate law of America actually. There are urbanized countries such as Japan that allow bicycles to freely move with the cars and nobody thinks badly of it.

unlikely, especially in the states, runners like to run in bike lanes against the flow of the traffic here but I can't imagine the law ever wanting you to run or ride like that, whoever gave that advice is an idiot

Don't know about the US, but in the UK pedestrians are advised to walk against the flow of traffic if there's no pavement. Bikes are supposed to obey (more or less, there might be a few minor differences) the same traffic laws as cars, and are supposed to ride on the road with motorised vehicles unless there are specifically designated cycle lanes.
