"backing out of the business driveway"

[–] 13igtyme@startrek.website 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

If it wasn't a bike lane it would have been a car going much faster and likely would have hit instead of the near miss. Maybe she should have a different parking layout so she isn't backing into traffic.

I felt like I was missing something but why are we backing into a bike lane (or a busy street beforehand)? Wouldn’t it be safer driving forward?

It's a parking lot, look on google maps. This lady just needs to turn around, and maybe paint the lot lines a bit differently.

I'm just going to say it... Fuck this literally one lady. Fuck local business owners. Fuck this shitty fake news.

So.. it’s so dangerous, but there are not many bikers. And they are backing out directly into traffic…

Local business owners are such fucking tools. They act like they know business like a toddler with a python shell acts like they know programming.
