More from the nanny state, bicycle safety included now to get a driving license

[Saltwater60]

When will it stop? The bicyclists are the worst. Hell the state is the worst with how they design bike lanes, many near me are completely unsafe. Hochul: New drivers must take a pedestrian and bicycle safety course to obtain license

Nope! Fuck off!

fuck that, Bicyclist should have a completely separate license to operate a bicycle on the road. I have been driving down roads that are 40mph zones with these asshole riding right down the middle of the lane, and they REFUSE to move over to allow vehicles by. Then these same people get to a stop sign, and blow right through it. Or come to a busy intersection with a traffic light, and most don't bother even stopping unless there is on coming traffic and cross against the light. then they get all upset when they get run over

No sympathy from me.

If I have to take a separate test to get a motorcycle license, a bicyclist needs one too.

Most bicycle accidents are caused by the bicyclist. I’m all for one’s right to ride a bicycle but It’s past time for some common sense bicycle control. NYS should implement a common sense bicycle licensing program. Before any individual could ride, buy, possess, or even touch a bicycle they would be required to pass a background check, take a 15 hour bicycle safety course, pass 2 hours of live bicycle riding under supervision of a certified bicycle instructor, provide 4 references, get finger printed, have an in person interview with a DMV employee, provide all their social media information for the last 3 years, and show that they have good moral character. This would prevent all bicycle crime as well as stop all bicycle violence!

the DWI has nothing to do with the bicyclist, thats all on the drunk driver

How come no one gets upset when someone creams a bunch of motorcyclist?

I just passed the 4,000 miles year-to-date mark on my ride this morning. I ride a decent amount. About 7,500 miles per year, every year. It’s great see that my fellow firearms enthusiasts encourage the pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness by others. Ride on!

Only Bicycle "Driving" is not a right. Now give up your first born.

Only if FUKH looked at numbers, she would find that theres more bicycle- car accidents since they gave riders more power over the drivers …Ya know, on the thing that was put there for cars

Now we've got an axe metaphorically hanging over our necks in the form of a shiny new semi-auto permission slip to buy or own rifles in this shithole, and you're wondering when the stupidity will stop?

Years of "will not comply" and now suddenly everyone can't wait to knuckle under for their new 3 year permits for both handgun AND rifles.

Molan Labe?

Who the hell gives a shit about bicycles and bycyle lane bullshit? And why would anyone be surprised that the retards in Albany would add more training for driver's licenses after they just bent gun owners in this state completely over?

WTF?

You know when it will stop? When we say hell no loud and clear. And not before.

We should be raising hell, not clutching our pearls over stupid shit like this.

Fuck that and fuck her. How about they start cracking down on stupid pedestrians and stupid bicyclists. I had to jump out of the way because some dumb 20 something twatwaffle was riding on the sidewalk. Shes lucky she didn't hit my dog. Every day I see bikes on the wrong side of the road. I can't count the number of idiots I've had to stop or wait for because they either don't know or care how crosswalks and red lights work. Sometimes I don't even stop for them. There's a crosswalk near me that isn’t on a corner and is set up with a red light for traffic to stop if they push the button. I've made plenty of people jump out of my way because they cross against a green light for traffic and the crosswalk says DON'T WALK. The traffic law says the car has the right of way because it's a crosswalk that says don't walk. At a crosswalk without walk/don't walk lights then you have to stop for them.

And does this test also apply to the illegals that get licenses too or is that racist?

 

[meketrefe]

I don't see this as all bad.
A lot of smaller cities in America people are very polite but they are totally oblivious to pedestrians and other travelers.
They would literally give a driver license to anyone w/o a clue about good driving and best practices and why we have so many bad drivers and bad habits.
In the big cities you don't even have the patience or politeness so it is 10 times worse.

LOL, back in the 70's when I got my MC endorsement, I was the only one with an actual MC license, of all the other guy I rode with, none had one. And most went to the Daytona Bike week every year, they would come back and post all their collected tickets on the garage wall. The entire wall of a four bay garage was covered in yellow citation paper. Top to bottom, front to back. Mine was framed for having the dumbest ticket in history. I actually got a speeding ticket for going 36. in a 35 ~~~~no shit, LOL

Doesn't FUKH ever take a day off?
It seems like every day she's pulling tyrannical shit out of her ass.
And flinging it all over us NYers.

She should do New York a favor and take a long vacation.

At this rate, not to long from now, it's going to either be illegal, or cost money, to breathe air.

She tried but Supreme Court had to go and fuck that up.

Can you imagine the audacity of the SC ruling by the book and ruining her vacation? Cant even fathom.

According to Rachel, the 16-year-old was tested for drugs at the scene and had marijuana and Xanax in his system. Rachel believes this was no accident.

How do they test for Xanax at the side of the road????

I never bothered either. I got pulled over once on my buddy's 929 Erion (fishing expedition). I gave the cop my CDL with no MC endorsement. He started giving me shit about being out of class so I asked him why I can drive a semi truck but cant be trusted with a 430lb bike. He gave me my licence back and told me to get my endorsements in order.

She also voted for Gascon so she wrote her own future. I saw her on Tucker Carlson and she's planning on moving to Arizona IIRC and no doubt taking her stupid politics with her.

reality check

 

[Dr. Evil]

When I ride I do everything possible to stand out and come home safe. Bright yellow is the only color jersey I wear. I have a bright yellow helmet. I have front and rear blinking lights that are very bright. I have Garmin radar which gives me an audible alert as well as a visual alert on my Edge 830 computer when there is a vehicle 150 meters behind me or closer. Also have a rear view helmet mirror. I do my best to stay on the shoulder if there is one when there are cars. Sometimes though the shoulders are in such poor shape that I have to go onto the right side of the lane to avoid glass, potholes, etc. and avoid potential flats/damage. Not all bikers are assholes just like not all motorcyclists are morons that I see speeding/weaving and doing wheelies in traffic. With that said, FUKH.

It sounds like overkill, but I know you take riding seriously. Be safe out there.

The technology has come a long way. I can keep track of a ton of things regarding speed, cadence, heart rate, power, etc.. More important for me is being able to download routes from programs like Ride With GPS. It gives me turn by turn navigation as well as a ton of other information and stats. Couldn't imagine riding without one. This is the one I have. Garmin Edge® 830 | Bike Computer with Performance Insights

From what I personally see the bike morons and other pedestrians are the problem 99/100 times. They spent a fortune on a main road by me to add all this safety bullshit and new LED street lights because it’s a 4 lane road with a turning lane and people were getting killed crossing it. Well it’s all the bus riding morons that don’t cross at a cross walk or a light and surprise, surprise they still don’t cross where it’s safe. They even put up blinking signs warning motorists to watch for pedestrians. Well it’s not always one sided fault. Yes you cherry picked a few articles that show the fault of drivers.
There are also the rails to trails in my town and the bikes and walkers have stop signs and guess what they don’t follow them. The bike ride into the roads all the time without looking, stopping, or anything. Yes some one will get killed there one day and likely soon, but it will be the cyclists fault.
