Five degrees to starboard!

Manhattan needs to mount GAU-8 Avenger cannons every few blocks that automatically target the sound of car horns.

He was at a red light not a yield sign. I guess it can vary by city or state, but my understanding is in Texas bikes in the street should follow the same rules as cars i.e. stop at stop signs, don't roll through red lights into oncoming traffic etc.

Should, but it's reasonable for bicycles to be more laissez-faire about traffic rules. I wouldn't have entered the intersection with the truck there, but would have blown the rest of that red with no guilt whatsoever.

Pastis is specifically needling another cartoonist called Jeff Mallett when he makes bike rider jokes, but yeah it's grating.

This was annoying. Yes I ran the red light pretty badly, but then the truck to my left had to swerve into my (unmarked) outer turn lane to avoid the steamrollers, which left me stranded in the middle of the intersection like an rear end in a top hat. No flaggers or anything, just steamrollers asserting their dominance. The guy on my left only ran the yellow and the steamrollers were already crossing into oncoming traffic.

Law of tonnage. You might be dead right, but you're still squished.

It's an EU thing. Some American websites vastly misunderstand GDPR and just refuse requests coming from the EU
