    Well instead cars have a complex process of permitting, licensing, and yearly insurance requirements to make drivers are trained, and financially covered in the event of an accident.

      You’ve ne:er been hit by a car, have you? The drivers insurance doesnt cover shit. You’re lucky if it covers your hospital stay. The licensing is a joke; it’s seen as a necessity so the standards have to be near zero.

      Ah, that must explain why car drivers kill thousands each year, while cyclists kill no one. Clearly these measures are working!
