i talked with quite a couple of people i know today about what happened

all of the asians/non-drivers/non-cyclists reacted the way i did at first, that they thought it was a ridiculous law.

the people i talked to that were drivers though, all reacted the same way that many people here reacted, that it was dangerous and unresponsible for the cyclist and that a punishment should be needed. However, they all agreed that the fine for a bicycle was too much and that the country should make the biking laws clear to cyclists since there are so many laws regarding cycling that aren't obvious

many of these people are more intelligent and reasonable people. this isn't about unfair laws anymore. its funny how 20+ of the people i talked to irl were able to discuss with reasonable arguments to why they think what they did, and how only 3 people in this thread were able to do so eloquently

Well then you know not to post a blog on TL anymore. Score one for real life people! I'm glad you could report back to us about how bad we did.

Do you normally survey the 20+ people in your life about the situations that occur to you each day, or was this just a special case? And what is the correlation between Asian and non-driving/non-cycling people? Do you think white non-drivers and non-cyclists would have a different point of view?
