[sustran] Final comment on MCs

[Eric Bruun]

Todd

Don't put words in people's mouths. No one said that riders have the right to break the law.
I can't speak for others, but my point was that people want to be mobile and it would
be very hard to convince them that they can't be when others are driving around in cars and
they are stranded.
