    An all way stop sign which means that the driver should have stopped. and in Portland, Oregon. We have something on the books called the Idaho stop, which means that bicyclists should be able to keep their acceleration through stop signs and stop lights and treat them as yield signals. Also the bicyclists clearly had the right of way approaching the stoplight first.

    Yeah no matter how we look at this the driver is clearly in the wrong.

        Yeah sorry I guess that does come off as argumentative but I was actually agreeing and trying to add my own thoughts onto yours.

          Well, I should have added that I was asking that because if that’s a blinking red light, there’s no way the driver even remotely saw a green light, making her even more full of shit. I didn’t know about the Idaho stop thing, that’s interesting!
