Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / March 2008MFFY, a story of privilege....
In NYC. http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/22/2281.asp <...> New York Department of Transportation study released last week confirmed that the liberal distribution of free parking placards to city workers has resulted in nearly half of all street level parking spaces in Lower Manhattan being taken by vehicles displaying some form of official permit. <...> Despite the generous parking rules that apply to the permits, a stunning 42 percent of the city workers' vehicles were parked outside of their allowed areas for more than three hours at a time, in violation of the terms of their permit. One out of every eight vehicles displaying a permit parked illegally in bus stops, crosswalks, blocking fire hydrants or driveways. The result is increased congestion. <...> >Despite the generous parking rules that apply to the permits, a stunning >42 percent of the city workers' vehicles were parked outside of their >allowed areas for more than three hours at a time, in violation of the >terms of their permit. Give MFFY an inch and it takes a mile.

That's what governs riding further left while on a bicycle. >>Give MFFY an inch and it takes a mile. > >That's what governs riding further left while on a bicycle. So you're saying "give a MFFY pedalcyclist a bike lane and he'll take the whole street?"

No he's saying that if you move further right, the MFFY driver will squeeze between you and the center line. >>>Give MFFY an inch and it takes a mile. >> >>That's what governs riding further left while on a bicycle. > >So you're saying "give a MFFY pedalcyclist a bike lane and he'll take >the whole street?" No. Bicycling on the edge of the roadway encourages drivers to shove you off it. To take it all. Riding further left helps prevent that. Geebus how many times have we been over that? |
