Why is anyone driving in a bike lane that has a curb?
To convince himself that driving a SUV in a city is a sensible choice.
because lanes "here" are not drawn for those fat SUVs. I see it everyday and i too tap the cars to remind them to get back into car lanes. When they free the bike lane they start bulging into the next car lane 🤦
These lanes have concrete curbs though?
it's surprising to see that, yes, even those concrete curbs can't prevent some drivers from driving in bike lanes or parking on bike lanes 🤷
"Because he lost control".
Shout out to the lawyer who came up with that argument. It's completely braindead, but he was obliged to come up with something.
Unfortunately lawyers are not allowed to just say "my client is a fuckwit, m'lud".
Well, I suppose they are, and probably often wish to do so, but they also have to defend their client, so...
When you drive an SUV, and you don't use it go over the curb and block the handicapped spot, are you really driving one?
Or a kerb, for that matter (wtf is that spelling?!)
That is the English spelling of a word.
British
I mean, I did see that the source was the BBC, but they should really quit using that as a crutch at this point.
