Yes, cyclists operating such dangerous equipment as a bicycle, I mean cyclists kill literally tens of people worldwide.  What a horror show!

Can we drop the false equivalence?
I didn't post this as an attack on cyclists or to claim equivalency but rather to point out that pretty much everyone breaks the law - whether it is speeding or not coming to a complete stop at an intersection or failure to signal turns, etc.  All of these actions can lead to dangerous situations involving others - be they drivers, cyclists or pedestrians.    So while some point out how they can't understand how someone can drive the wrong way round a roundabout (me included), I'm not sure I understand what causes everyone (me included) to not obey the rules of the road.   Certainly there is a shortage of enforecment.
