Kids on bicycles (RANT)

[StangerBanger96]

If it was me in my Bonneville I would have floored it and then gotten out and shit on their face

[DaveH]

Def would be a good time to call the cops and get their punk asses in trouble.

or run them over as stangerbanger recommends, and then tear off their heads and shit down their necks.

[RidinRails]

maybe the kids were actually trying to get hit and were just laughing because they didnt get hit even when they tried to.

[Rexwagon]

dumb kids

[thurmanmerman]

Reminds me of this commercial.

That pisses me off that some people have no respect for other people's stuff and think thats funny.

Karma is a bitch, hope they get hit...........

[Guest]

I didn't call them in, I was hoping they'd get hit at the next intersection or so. They were probably age 9-13

[bubba]

Hopefully a semi gets them or something....kids these days...must be that damn rap music, lol.

[assasain]

i love that commercial btw...

i prolly woulda just hit them, technically they have the right away.... but if they are crossing when there not supposed too on purpose i think you could get away with it.

[SPANISH-RICE]

you wouldnt "get away" with anything. just maybe less punishment

[assasain]

i dunno though... my friend hit some old guy and got off totally cause the guy was drunk

Actually, no they don't. They are on vehicles (yes, bicycles are vehicles) and have to follow the rules of the road....technically they are supposed to be driven on the street, not on sidewalks.

Hence why you can get a DUI on a bike.

[black2g]

Yeah and i also heard a long time ago that a guy got a DUI on a horse. kinda off topic but yeah.

Then explain why they do not have to have license plates, registration, insurance, turn signals and brake lights, headlight..... and dont get pulled over for driving through stop signs and stop lights, cut off traffic................ and then exibition for doing wheelies and endos.

Motorcycles are not held to the same standards as a car/truck either. It's because the vehicle is not motorized that many of those are allowed. If they get caught running a stopsign or stoplight they can be cited just like any other driver though.

And yes, you can get a DUI on a bike. My friends car got hit by a drunk guy on a bike and the cop that arrived to help him gave the guy a DUI. Rather stupid if you ask me, it's a lot safer form of transportation than driving...only person you're really going to injure is yourself. They gotta get their money somehow though.

I had a group of bosians in west fargo do that shit to me yesterday when i was on my way home with my two kids. You would think if you saw a car coming then you would wait for it to pass then cross the road. Not in this case. So i proceeded to let them cross then i turned around to follow them. I didnt do anything to them nor did i yell anything to them. Sure was fun to fuck with their heads for a little bit.

Because plates/registration/insurance/turn signals & brakes (actually...don't need them if you use hand signals) are required on motor vehicles. They can be pulled over for failure to stop, cutting off traffic, speeding, exhibition driving (if on the road), etc...

IMO, if they take up space on the road they should have to meet the same standards as everything else on the road. Not only for other people on the road but for there own saftey. We all know what would happen in a bike and car accident. The laws should also be equally inforced on them. I can not count the number of times i have scene bike riders pedal right though a stop sign or traffic light with a cop there, I know if it was a car they would be fucked.

When I ride bike I do not go on the street unless there is no sidewalk, there are to many idiots on the road to risk my life on a pedal bike

I also try to bike on the side walk. Then I got arrested for it. My father has gotten a speeding and running a stop sign ticket on his bike. It just sucks that the police don't enforce the bike laws more thoroughly.
