How do they do in crash tests? Are there blind spots?
Cars a death machines. We need to regulate them.
Low speeds isnt a risk. But if it's a danger to its occupants or pedestrians/cyclists, it shouldn't be on the road
They do fine in crashes... Against normal sized cars. They get absolutely obliterated by trucks and SUVs.
Most of them don't go over 55, and aren't highway legal because of that.
I am definitely going to die if I get hit by an SUV on my motorbike, but I'm free to drive that to work all the time. I fail to see how a mini-car is materially different while we allow other dangerous vehicles on the road by the same definition.
Can't your motorbike go over 100kmph?
