To the Editor:
In response to the recent comments from Kenneth Veith (“Motioning for ground rules,” Oct. 16), I cannot agree more.
I live and drive in South Philadelphia. Most of my fellow drivers obey the “rules of the road,” which include stopping at red lights and “Stop” signs and going in the same direction as traffic. Many cyclists feel these rules do not apply to them.
While drivers are looking for traffic going in the correct directions, some cyclists zip through lights and “Stop” signs and go in the opposite direction. At night, many do not have reflective material on their bodies or bikes. Between them and people who walk across streets without looking, it has become more stressful for drivers. Not all motorists are perfect, but most cyclists are not blameless either.
