My infinite intelligence doesn't like that but i do think when a
driver is found at fault in bike-car crash the penalties should be
very severe. Same with car-ped crashes. People driving 2 ton vehicles
should be very very careful when bikers or walkers are around.

And there's no better way to ensure that carefulness that by placing
the liability on the big fish. It's called REVERSE HIERARCHY...

I don't believe this president is, but the former one surely
contributed greatly to it by HIDING THE COST OF WAR.

American capitalism is not as spontaneous as it seems. The dinosaurs
(SUVs) have been promoted by loopholes in the laws, while the bicycles
and alternative transportation struggle with little help from the
designer.

In other words, WE ARE THE PRODUCT OF STUPID DESIGN.

Instead of engaging in a long winding discussion, which would only
prove you wrong, I let you take a peak at life under the revolution
(INTELLIGENT DESIGN)...

"Public transportation should be A1. (The city of Curitiba, in Brazil,
offers us a functional model of transportation; bicycle lanes should
be implemented along all major streets.) Our roads, where the Law of
the Jungle rules, should be made safer, say by enforcing passing on
the left only."
