Years ago, our town meeting was discussing adding bike lanes after a couple recent fatalites that summer.

A lawyer got up, and pointed out that a. Cars counted as deadly weapons for ‘assault with a deadly weapon’ in our state’

B. Assault was defined as threatening someone, you didnt need to actually harm them.

C. Our state did consider assault with a deadly weapon as an acceptable reason for using lethal self defense.

And that maybe we should just add in the proposed bike lanes before cyclists all started carrying hand guns for self defense against reckless drivers.

I still use that attorney when I need one.
