I saw on the news the other day that the police have been going after bicyclists that fail to obey traffic laws. Quite a few bikers were given tickets that were over $200. People commented that they think the amount of the fine is too much for the offense--"the message would be just as clear if the fine were only about $50-60." If $200+ is the amount an Oregon driver would be fined, and we want equality on the road, why should our fines be less...?
Here's an idea... Don't break the law!
(Or, live dangerously and possibly get hit by more than a ton of steel... in which case, you better have good insurance.)
