If you are too old to drive and stop, not speed, and can't see 100 ft in front of you, please get someone else to drive you! But, don't blame your bad driving on cyclists.
I don't think the person who posted that was blaming cyclists for bad car driving habits. He was blaming cyclists for their bad and often dangerous driving habits. Not all cyclists, of course, but I'm still laughing at a post from about a month ago by a cyclist who explained he doesn't stop because it interferes with his "pedal cadence" Of course I doubt he realizes that a funeral procession walks to a cadence as well.....
