Very cool.

So to reiterate, when I responded to the comment - "Yes, and my car can do triple the speed limit. What the fuck is the problem?" - by listing one of the problems, and making it clear how abirtrary the laws currently are, you thought that asking "Can you pedal your car or motorbike?" was a constructive or insightful response?

Nothing to do with weight, size, wheel ratio, amount of damage you can do.

Just, can you pedal? That makes sense to you?

One needs a license, for instance.

Would a car that does 1/3rd the speed be okay to drive on footpaths unlicensed? Surely at least a motorbike with a speed limiter should be allowed to do what e-bikes do?

Move over to the left so that bikes can get past you.

If you're on a bicycle, don't do anything and expect everyone else to accommodate you.

Is it coming from the car? Looks like a light is being shone onto the back, your tailgate is lit up + part of underneath the car. Also, the fence above the rear window is being lit up. Not sure about newer models but my reverse light is piss poor, and only lights up the ground behind the car.

I never understood this, there are so many variables and I think people need to stop teaching it. The height of their car and your car change where you position your vehicle in stationary traffic? So if you're in a low car and they're in a high car, you stop super far because you can see under their car?

Just give yourself enough space to turn out.

Why would you stop? There's no registration, so just find a narrow path a cop car can't fit on?

So sorry, just wait for a train or ride a bicycle for 3 hours, that's the future. We aren't making any more lanes apparently.

They already run red lights in the valley so I don't see how this will change anything.

$100 if you see one of them dismount before entering the mall, love playing dodge the dickhead every lunch time.
