there should be a law

Making this legal:

Delivery people should be required to wear identifying numbers on neon-colored jackets and the name of the vendor they represent.  This way, if you get hit by a delivery person (as I almost did recently), you know who to call and complain. So many bike riders (and there are many, since Citi Bikes was introduced this summer) ignore driving laws.  They zip through red lights.  They ride on the sidewalk.  They make right turns on red (illegal in Manhattan).  They stop in the middle of the sidewalk and ride back and forth waiting for the light to change. They ride the wrong way down one-way streets.  And no one tickets them.  I’m surprised I haven’t seen anyone texting yet while biking.

 And making this illegal:

Anyone running for office should not be allowed to use robo-calling to reach voters.  Today I receive nine calls asking me to vote for a particular candidate or bill.  It’s intrusive, obnoxious, and most likely ignored.  How can anyone think this is a good idea?
