I want: INSURANCE requirement - the size and potential damage that can be caused is not a factor in the requirement for motorcycle vs. auto insurance nor should it be in requiring bicycles to have liability coverage, INSPECTION & Equipment minimum standards- Signals: although a motorcyclist or auto driver can use hand signals too, the flashing types are required and provide much better visibility in limited light situations.

1. Those crazy enough to ride a two wheeler around inattentive and dangerous MV traffic.

As far as "rules of the road," from what I've seen in South Carolina these are the rules:

A yellow light is an invitation to accelerate, turn signals are just one of the things that flash when you are stranded and hands are optional on the wheel if you have a cell phone, coffee, or make-up brush.

Going as fast as you can is necessary, as it gives the person you are running up behind (the one doing five under the speed limit in the left lane) that extra little "oh, crap" moment before they veer out of the left lane into your lane, nearly wrecking everyone.

And, when there is a wreck, it must be a rule that everyone come to a total, dead stop to get a look at whatever happened on the other side of the road, no matter how close it comes to causing an accident on their side of the road.

That said, I agree that people on bicycles should have to abide by the (more or less) common sense rules of the road.
