I mean, I always yield at stop signs, but I am not likely to come to a complete stop on a bike if there is nobody to yield to. Many car drivers don’t either, as any road user is already aware.

“Oh they’re doing it so I can do it to,” said the pile of bones and guts spread out along the intersection.

Cars have a little more protection than a bicyclist for the occupants of the vehicle.

If anything, the fact that cars are more likely to injure another road user than their occupants, is even more reason that they should come to a complete stop, moreso than any other road user.

The rules and laws around using roads are designed without consideration for the type of vehicle using it. Everyone needs to stop at stop signs and red lights.
