If the motorists aren't following the rule of the road, then the motorists. If the bikers aren't by riding 2 or more across, then the bikers. And if a runner is on the same road and is following the same rule (only facing traffic), then he's got just as much right as everyone else to be out there. Being in a car in no way grants special rights, which is, of course, what you're claiming here. Surprise! You don't have any. Just like the bikers. Everyone is equal.
