Is AA cracking down on cyclists and letting speeding motorists off the hook?
I saw this posted on Facebook: "Passed two AA County bike police, again, radar gun in hand, presumably ticketing speeding bicyclists on the trail. What about speeding motorists? More of them then us."If you have been ticketed please let us know.
I'll note the data I have (from 2006) shows Anne Arundel County being very lax in giving motorist speeding tickets unless they are going 20 mph over the speed limit, I wounder if they'll do the same for cyclists?
It's also worth noting that comparing the last crash data publicly available; bike crashes are down from 88 to 80 while car crashes are up from 8427 to 8995. I certainly hope AA is cracking down on drivers with equal vigor. .
