Should cyclists need to follow the same rules as motor vehicles, or are they pedestrians?

If the law says that a bicycle should follow the road rules like a motor vehicle, then that is the law. You MUST be aware that there are automobile drivers that also don't stop for stop signs, don't signal turns or lane changes or stay in their proper lanes. People make mistakes, or are careless, or just don't believe certain rules apply to them.

Bicyclists are no different. If you had hit her, and it was determined that there was no way you could have avoided hitting her, you would not be cited or charged. If it were determined that you COULD have avoided the collision and didn't bother (like for no better reason than that you had the right of way) then you could have been charged.

If the bicylist had died because of this, the charge COULD be manslaughter. Remember, a pedestrian does NOT have the right to step in front of a speeding car, no matter WHO had the right of way. More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
