There'd still be a bunch of drivers both directly involved and
simply looking on, in these alleged, cyclist-caused, multi-car
pile-ups.
So, where are they? Let's hear from these drivers (if they
exist.) Or better yet -- their insurance reps.
Incidentally, I've never seen a cyclist "ram" through a /busy/
intersection against the light. But then, I've never seen anyone
jump through between boxcars of a fast moving train, either.
