Comment on US carmakers say proposed EU rules could block large pickup trucks from Europeparent

Comments

If we cared about reducing road casualties, then objectively speaking, we should ban bikes. Roads are designed for cars (people in protective metal boxes with hundreds of sophisticated safety features).

Roads were never intended for people on flimsy two wheeled contraptions with nothing more than a polystyrene cap to protect them.

Seems about 5x as many pedestrians die on the roads than cyclists, so by that logic pedestrians are banned from roads too? No more pedestrian accessible roadside shops?
