A number of cities are planning to integrate more bike lanes in their roads and highways. Advocates for car drivers in those cities are protesting those plans. They believe that cyclists should not be allowed to ride on the roads for a number of reasons. Arguments against the plan include, for example, that allowing cars and bicycles on the same road would result in a lot of accidents because cyclists do not follow laws such as stopping at stop signs. As such, car drivers are calling for the cities to create a law that will call for bicycles to be treated as any vehicle. They believe that this law will then ensure that cyclists will have to comply with rules of the road such as stopping at stop signs. The law was passed and the police are now strictly enforcing traffic rules for all vehicles. This has resulted in an increase in traffic tickets given to car drivers for violations such as not completely stopping at stop signs. The car driver advocates are now calling for the abolishment of the law because this would result in a decrease in traffic tickets given to car drivers.
Which of the following is the best statement of the flaw in the argument above?

a. Not treating bicycles as a vehicle will result in a decrease in traffic tickets given to car drivers.
b. Because the law makes bicycles a vehicle then cyclists should get cycling insurance.
c. Abolishment of the law will stop plans for integrating bike lanes into roads and highways.

The statement that shows the flaw in the argument above is "Not treating bicycles as a vehicle will result in a decrease in traffic tickets given to car drivers."

This is not the case because the ticket issue is that the drivers of the cars were used to not strictly followed the transit laws. Once that the Police officers started to enforce the law, the drivers suffered the consequences of not following the law, as in the past. So it is not an issue of the bicycles, but drivers transit education and the strict following of the law for everyone.
