Reminds me of a funny joke Bill Wendt said at a CCM ride years ago that had a impatient Bm'r driver stuck in it...

"What's the difference between a porcupine and a BMW? A porcupine has the prick on the outside!"

Almost reads like Chicago bicycle commuters:

“In our crosswalk study, none of the bikes in the beater category drove through the crosswalk. They always stopped for pedestrians," researcher Paul K. Piff told the paper. He added that not only were "bike commuters less likely to stop," but also that "fixies were the worst."

Drivers of fixies and other bikes were also more likely to cheat at four-way-stop intersections, according to the research.
