I wonder what happens when you crash your bike into a vehicle that's parked in the bike lane? Surely there's some case law precedents on it by now? If they all show in favor of the bicyclists, I wanna see what happens when one crashes into a cop car doing the same thing.

Unfortunately, when a moving vehicle crashes into a stationary vehicle it's pretty much always going to be the operator of the moving vehicle at fault, even if the stationary vehicle is parked somewhere it shouldn't be and, I believe, even if the moving vehicle is a bike.

Don't get me wrong: I've definitely been tempted to pull a Casey Neistat myself, from time to time! But it's really not the, uh, "prudent" move, from a legal perspective.
