If it does, yes. If it does not, however, it is still an unnecessary
inconvenience over riding on the road, where you normally do have
priority.

Maybe the motorist does come out in a much better light.


Once again, I ask - *why* do the modes have to compete in this emotive
manner? I am both a motorist and a cyclist (and use other modes as
well). Do I suddenly spout anti-motorist drivel when cycling, or vice
versa? Of course not. I am, however, against poor and inconsiderate
driving and cycling (both of which I see a fair bit of), and against
poorly-designed infrastructure for both.
