What the heck is the big deal? Obey the darn laws and you’ll be $400 richer. Some people think they are above the law and now even Berkley is telling them they are NOT. Who wudda thunk it????
especially cyclists... i say, "burn!" ha!
You know what the big deal is -
every one of these Berzerkley “students” thinks HE is or will be one of the “ruling elite”,
and we all know that laws don’t or shouldn’t be enforced on the ruling class.
>>Some people think they are above the law<<
I ride a bike and drive a car. I always stop at stop signs with my car. I don’t even slow down when on my bike - IF visibility is good and there are no cars. Otherwise, I do it like when I am in my car. So many of our laws are “lemming” laws, anyway, and I confess that even in my car I take that in consideration - like when I backed up one half mile on I-405 (during a complete traffic stoppage) so I could get to the previous exit and take an alternate route. That is a reckless driving ticket, btw. I just chanced that there would not be any cops and the traffic was ao light (It was 4 in the morning) that I would stop when I saw a car coming, and then start backing when there were none.
It does not mean I think I am above the law. It means I consider most laws to be designed for the worst common denominator (16 year old, or little old lade on meds) and that the cops are aware of that too.
The zero tolerance attitude is always repulsive, but it can bring the school some cash for a while, kinda like red light cameras.
