    Some of those citations are cyclists on sidewalks endangering pedestrians…

    Others is cyclists running red lights.

    So, cyclists hitting a pedestrian, I feel like we’d agree who’s at fault.

    But say a cyclists runs a red light and tbones a SUV, you’re saying the SUV is at fault?

      They’re saying it’s on the SUV driver to prove they didn’t do illegal things that resulted in the accident, assuming normal police requests don’t do it first (security camera footage of the intersection) because nobody knows for sure who ran a red light except the people involved, unless there’s proof.

      Not “someone said the SUV ran a red light and everyone believed them instantly without proof and the SUV was found at fault”
