Are you incompetent? A bike lane is no more an issue when making a left
turn than any other traffic lane on a road with more than one lane.

No. Motor vehiclists might expect cyclists to stay on the bike lane
and do indirect left turns.

BZ still doesn't understand that since "they have their own lane"
motorists want cyclists to stay in those lanes. Turning left out of
that lane is the cyclist's problem, not theirs. "We can't go in
their bicycle lane, why do they think they can come into ours?"


Trying to convince Zaumen of that is apparently impossible. He needs
to infiltrate the enemy camp (motorists who do not believe bicyclists
have rights) to understand how they think.


Sharman, you are an idiot.
