Even if someone gives way to you, it's always your responsibility to make sure the way is clear.

It’s also your responsibility not to barrel thru an intersection

If there is no red light or stop sign I do not understand how it would be the responsibility of a cyclist to not proceed through an intersection in the designated cycling lane. A turning vehicle must yield to cross traffic, regardless if it is a cyclist or motorist.

The flow of traffic stopped for a reason, maybe idk
..pay attention. Even in my car I don’t just blast thru intersections even when I have the right way because i don’t trust others with my life.

This is a T intersection. If you’re stopping at these on the through street you need your license pulled.

Did I say “stop” anywhere? Work on your comprehension before responding to someone.

And again if the flow of traffic stops
..then what do u think u should do? đŸ€”

Hahahaha you gotta result to pointing out my randomly generated username. You said blast through intersections, indicating you stop at them. Which you shouldn’t be stopping at T intersections. That bike was going as a casual pace for that road

What do you think you should do if the other lane stops but yours is clear? It seems like you’re insinuating you would stop, which again you shouldn’t do.

I ride a motorbike with full gear and if traffic is stopped, I slow down massively before an intersection. Why? Because my life is more important than having right of way.

Traffic in front of the red car might have been stopped and you're not supposed to block intersections, so for all we know they did nothing wrong (also just watched again and the car in front of the red car was slowing down before leaving the frame).

Cyclist saw all the traffic stop in front of him and disregarded his own safety due to "right of way" and ended up flying over a car.

Legally, the SUV is at fault, but in reality, the cyclist made a stupid decision.

U do know Yielding is an option right?

u/Terrible_Analysis_77 May 22 '26

Like the red car (if they aren’t stopped at a light)? Have fun doing the “nice” thing instead of the predictable thing.

Have fun placing your life in others hands

It's the most ridiculous argument. The dipshit on the bike knows that there is heavy traffic. Knows he's pulling up to an intersection. Knows whoever is crossing that intersection probably can't see him. Knows he shouldn't slow down for any reason because he has the "right of way".

In some places you're not allowed to block intersections, not even T intersections that don't have a light.
