I Agree Wayne, cite them all. Problem is, police seem to only cite the motor vehicles. I'm glad to see that bikers should be held accountable, hopefully before I kill one. It's nothing against bikers, just reality.<BR>
<BR>
Take care,<BR>

<DIV>Matt,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I agree that bikers, pedestrians, etc are sometimes at fault and they ought be cited. However, the majority of violations I see, especially stop signal and stop sign violations are by vehicles. When a vehicle hits something during a stop sign or stop signal violation, the damage to the thing struck is likely be much more devastating than if the same object is struck by a violating bicycle or pedestrian.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Cite them all!</DIV>
