As far as cops arresting dudes on bikes that run red lights - uh, why would this make us re-evaluate our priorities? I <b>still</b> don't want assholes running red lights, on bikes or otherwise. What if you hit one of those idiots - that's an hour or two out of your day now (and possibly more later on, if the bicyclist maintains it was your fault).

I'll second and third that. Just such a scenario happened to me last February and I only just last week got out from under it. My (expensive) lawyer got the charges dropped and the biker was left with a flattened bike to remember his instance of disregard for traffic laws.
That event cost me three days in the slammer and a possible blot on my NCIC record. Damn him.
At least I'll still be able to afford car insurance now although I still have to get the whole thing in writing and present it to my insurance company since the event went onto their computers when the police verified my insurance information with them.
