Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.

So, same punishment when crossing red lights, hmm?

Well, of course, you CAN have that opinion.... Whatever your motivation might be.

My opinion is a bit different. Cars can do more damage than pedestrian or cyclist crossing the road on red. Most times only endangering themselves. An this was my point above as well.

If you cannot or don't want to understand that and call people "idotic"... Well, I guess it only reflects what kind of a person you are.................
