Bikers need to be more conscious of traffic laws

As is the case with vehicle drivers, many bikers seem to believe they are exempt from basic traffic laws.

Quite frequently, I see bikes fly through stop signs and red lights, turn without a hand signal or ride at night without proper lighting.

I am a vehicle driver actually concerned about the safety of bike riders in the city and around campus. Sometimes I feel as though I am more concerned for their safety than they are.
