Bicyclists going wrong way and other crimes
Luigi de Guzman wrote in part:
I cannot overstate the cross-traffic hazard; a car wishing to turn
right on to the roadway isn't looking for a bicycle coming at him from
the wrong side on a sidepath, moving at 15-25 mph. He looks left to
check for oncoming traffic, sees none, and drives out--
Into you.
Only if you're stupid enough to actually ride in front of
a car with a driver who is looking the other direction
and who is obviously preparing to pull out.
