> Last time I checked, you don't have to unclip to stop your car.

The last time I checked, clipping was a choice. We don't excuse drivers who make choices that make it inconvenient for them to obey traffic laws....

And no, "training" isn't an excuse either.

> Just out of curiosity, have you ever ridden a bike?

Yes, what of it?

> You get a sense of what rules you can and can't ignore.

Oh really?

> I don't feel at all bad ignoring a stop sign when there is literally no traffic.

That's nice, but observing bicyclists shows that "no traffic" often means "can I beat it if other folks give me a pass?". (My assumption that they're checking may be unfounded.)
