Ouch! Kid in my Economics got a ticket while riding his bike to class today...

[aphex]

Failure to stop at a stop sign on campus...

$96 ticket

OUCH!

I know he deserves it for not stopping, but its kinda ironic that he got it in an area on campus (most of the center of campus) that cars arent allowed from 8am-4:30pm....

Anyway, just thought it was worth a chuckle...

hehehe...

If bicyclists want to be respected by drivers, they have to follow the rules.

 

[isekii]

that's focked up.

as bad as it sound, he broke the law, he pays through his ass.

Thats not bad. You can get speeding tickets on your bicycle here in Irvine.

Yea, i've heard of a few people getting them here as well.... 20mph speed limit on campus...

That's too bad, but good. I really hate cyclists that don't consider themselves road vehicles and therefore don't have to obey the rules of the road...

Fvcking pansy-ass, butterfly-chasing, dope-smoking, bicycle-riding hippies... I say run 'em all over. They think they own the road! BAH! They don't buy gasoline, they don't pay the gas tax that goes to fund the nations roads and highways. Kill 'em all.












Yes... even Fausto1

How bad of an infraction was it? Did he slow down to see if anyone was coming, and then kept going? Or did he just blow through at 25 MPH?

drivers must really hate me. I don't really care about things like one way streets, stop signs, street lights and such. In fact, pedestrians probably hate me too, since I skip from road to sidewalk whenever it suits me.

 

[pyonir]

kinda funny that it is a $96 ticket and he is in your ECON class.

So you gotta have speedometers for bikes too?

So what happens if you don't pay the ticket?

Do they impound your bike?

Probably Campus police. So no pay, no graduate...
