“Drivers must realize bicycles and motorcycles are “extremely vulnerable and they have as much right to the roadway as you do in your car,” Devennish said.”
That may be, but common sense should tell all cyclists that since they are extremely vulnerable and will always lose in any collision with a car or truck, the burden of exercising greater caution falls on them, rights or no rights. Unless you or your surviving relatives win the insurance/lawsuit lottery, your “rights” as a cyclist aren’t going to mean much when you are lying in a grave or in the hospital with multiple fractures, or spending the rest of your life maimed or crippled.
