And yet the traffic rules don’t stop cyclists from riding the wrong way down my one-way street a dozen times a day. I’ve nearly hit them with my car door or walked in front of them with my dog because I’m checking the other direction, where cars would be coming from. No cop is going to pull over a bicycle so they just ignore the rules.
In my state bicycles that are riding on the road must obey all traffic laws as if they were a motorcycle. I see cyclists break those laws every day and there will never be consequences.
I shouldn’t have to anticipate that someone might be breaking the law. It’s hard enough to cross the street or open my door when I’m only dealing with law-abiding traffic. Maybe those people should anticipate that they’re going to get knocked off their bike by a car door when they willingly and knowingly break traffic laws.

You’re right, you shouldn’t have to. That doesn’t mean you can’t use your brain and consider the situation. No need for violence
