One thought on “34.3

  1. Maybe they need to institute some laws like they have in The Netherlands that protect bicyclists and pedestrians even more than other cars on the road. It’s the same in most of Europe with the driving laws. They make sense that people on the roads with less protection around them are protected more than those surrounded by steel cages. Everyone still follows the rules of the road, but everyone gets the protections of the laws of the road, too (right of way, etc.).
