    This is why I always run when the cops try to pull me over on my emoto. Cut through some yards and alleys and I’m long gone. I wear a helmet so good luck identifying me.

      And here we see why a criminal court summons is necessary. Bikers will flagrantly violate traffic laws and then trespass to avoid responsibility. Thanks for providing an example so readily.

        Why should I care about the law? I see the rich and powerful getting rewarded for their violations. It literally serves me no good to get myself caught when it’s near impossible I’ll get caught if I run.

          Because those laws protect pedestrians who are endangered by riders like you. You aren’t the main character of the universe. Think of others.

            I’m sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but pedestrian endangerment isn’t perpetuated by folks on two wheels.

              It’s perpetuated by more than a single group of road users. Your inability to acknowledge that is telling.
