    JM>   One time I got into a "discussion" with a driver who had nearly   
    JM> caused me to wreck when he cut me off.  In gist he said bikes were to   
    JM> be on sidewalks. I said no, on the street.   
      
     I saw a bumper sticker that noted "If you don't like the way I drive,   
   stay off the sidewalk".    
      
    JM>   I told him that was the dumbest thing I had ever heard.  And I   
    JM> checked on this (long before the internet) and could find no such   
    JM> ordinance or state law.   
      
     He probably wrote the law 150 years ago.    
      
    JM>    He then looked it, across the street and back to the license, gave   
    JM> me a dirty look and handed it back to me.  :)   
      
     LOL!!

    JM>   We have bike lanes on some streets but many motorists ignore them.   
    JM>   I also see a lot of drivers who think the left turn lane is some some   
    JM> of express lane to go through intersections.   
      
     You just gave them a bunch of ideas.    
      
    > I remember a Kickstarter project that was a horn for a bike that sounded   
   ust   
    JM> like a car horn.  Worked really good too.  8)   
      
    JM>    LOL.   
      
     They ought to do it like a train whistle.  Pull up next to the tracks,   
   and set that off, and watch the drivers mess their pants.
