[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Omg you are going to be so surprised when you learn how bad cars are for health, safety, the environment, and more.

I bet you’ll be super ranty about that because I’m sure you’re not hypocritical at all.[/quote]

But drivers of cars follow the law (for the most part, you know what I mean) - they stay in their lanes, they don't go the wrong way down a one-way street, they don't park in randomly created spaces that block entry/egress, they stop at lights and stop signs, and the drivers are licensed and have had training before drivers are allowed on the streets.  [/quote]

Almost all drivers speed. Most jurisdictions won't even ticket for speeding until the driver is 10MPH over the limit - but yes, going one mph over the limit is breaking the law. Large numbers of drivers run reds, run stops, make right turns on red without stopping, make illegal U turns, change lanes dangerously, make turns from an improper lane or go straight from a  turn only lane.  Fail to yield to pedestrians where required, fail to use turn signals.  That does not even get into blocking crosswalks or parking in bike lanes.

All this in big fast vehicles that can and regulalry DO kill.  [/quote]

Except scooters are on the sidewalk with hapless pedestrians and are being driven by the same types of reckless morons as cars![/quote]

We need to get them off of the sidewalks.  Into the bike lanes. Which there are not enough of.[/quote]
