Rules of the road

Thu., July 7, 2016

On the way home from the grocery store this morning, traveling neighborhood streets, I forgot that many adult bicyclists seem to believe that they are immune from the rules of the road. Fortunately I yielded to my left to allow this adult to have the right away at the intersection.

I am glad that this did not result in something worse. Had it been, I suspect it would have been my fault in that I should have known better than to expect many bike riders to obey traffic laws.
