Sharrows, the bicycle infrastructure that doesn’t work and nobody wants

I suspect there is a fair bit of confirmation bias in what you are noticing. I say this as a biker that also notices these things.

I also notice them from drivers all the time, as well. Is it stupid when a cyclist runs a stop sign? Yes. The same as a car doing it. And people are notorious for not stopping well if they are going to take a right. Such that we design for the behavior with round abouts. Car or bike.

Meanwhile, both times I've been hit, the car turned right not checking that there was a biker in the bike lane right next to them.

I'm not sure the confirmation bias matters here.

The GC seems to be a comment replying to a lot of sentiment in this thread which is basically "the driver is always at fault". Given what I'm sure we've all seen from cyclists (and the things I've done as a cyclist), I can confirm that this is definitely not the case.

Your rhetorical style isn't helping. From what we have all seen from drivers, nobody should be allowed to drive a car. :)

What's wrong with my rhetorical style?

I meant just the clause I parrotted. It begs the question regarding what we've all seen/done.
