So…you want to murder people for traffic infractions?
I am a cyclist and a motorcyclist and I care a great deal about the rules of the road. I wish I could say the same for car, SUV, and truck drivers weaving bc they’re texting, failing to use their turn signals, going slow in the passing lane, driving in the rain without headlights, following too close, and the hundreds of other outright dangerous things I see drivers do just about every time I ride.
Be careful about using broad stokes to paint a class of people. You’re wrong more than you’re right.

Yeah, but that general attitude does nothing but encourage the already reckless behavior out on the roads these days. As a potential victim of your threat, facetious or not, it comes off as very insensitive and not at all humorous.
You might be kidding, but a lot of folks out there aren’t.

do you sound like this all the time?

When it comes to my life, yes.
Seriously—any motorcyclist will tell you that even on a good day, it takes 2 hands to count the number of times some driver came within inches of killing you—often without even knowing it. It’s getting worse every year, too. Add to that the growing road rage and overall hostility people have behind the wheel and road safety becomes a very serious subject.
As it should be, by the way.
Do you make “facetious” comments about school shootings or yell fire in the theater when you’re not threatening to door slam cyclists on Reddit?

oh my god, more paragraphs? it is a single goddamn sentence i typed out without really even thinking about it that much. if you are taking every single comment like this you see that personally you are going to age yourself to death before you hit 37. You Are A Drain. I am so fucking sorry i get pissed off at cyclists sometimes.
