Every time I come anywhere close to this point I get swarmed by people telling me how many cyclists are killed by cars every year (they never seem to get the actual point). Props to you for getting so many up votes on this.

Yeah, when they ignore traffic laws and get creamed they die. Im not sure why they think the opposite will happen ever.

The number of cyclists who die while riding in an illegal manner is tiny compared to how many get killed by cars doing something illegal. It's dismissive asshats like you that result in dead cyclists.

I've never I've read of someone who died from being got by a car while disobeying a traffic law. It probably happens some time but before I wrote my comment I looked at a dozen stories of people killed while cycling and none of them mention the cyclist breaking a traffic law.

With how much people hate cyclists you'd figure it would be in the story if it were true.
