So you are basically assuming the outlier a politician refers too, usually something chosen due to being the most tragic not the most representative, is the norm.
I'm not. They are.
Modern training includes a lot of coverage of defensive riding due to the dangers autos and trucks represent.
I agree entirely. Pedestrians need the same training, obviously. Per mile traveled, walking is the most dangerous mode of transportation.

the problem is industry consolidation. Why have two dev teams making two games when one game will cannibalize sales for other game you are making. These layoffs are the promised efficiency of mergers and acquisitions. Much better to just make one game and sell twice as many copies.

I don't think you did. how many does your reliable source say is "plenty"? I searched for the multiple incidents that killed or injured young people in New Jersey in 2025 that prompted the legislation, and 100% of them were e-bike riders getting hit by cars.

The summary merely says "The legislation follows an increase in crashes involving e-bikes, including multiple incidents that killed or injured young people in New Jersey in 2025"
There's this amazing thing called the internet where you can search for things and figure out stuff that isn't in the article. You should try it.

What about the possibility that the government already pwned both servers months ago, collecting evidence while lurking, and now that they think they have a case, they need to do real construction of evidence instead of the parallel construction they were doing before, so they have to officially seize them now and put them into evidence.

No we aren't. The e-bike deaths used to promote this law were cyclists hit by cars. Also, it doesn't matter if they are mopeds or not because vehicular cycling is the law of the land in most US states, so by your logic we should probably make everyone get a bike license to make sure nobody rides on the sidewalk, and instead blocks a lane of traffic like they are supposed to. Especially children. We need to do this for the safety of pedestrians.

How is that irrelevant? We are saying e-bike riders need to get licenses and insurance because sometimes they get hit by cars because they aren't trained well enough in "defensive driving". I think we should do the same for pedestrians so they can also practice "defensive driving". Like if you go outside your house and try to cross the street, you should need an insurance policy just in case you get hit by a car. Its common sense.

Should people get walking licenses to protect themselves from cars, too? Pedestrians get hit by cars all the time.

The problem is not people riding irresponsibly. The problem is motorists breaking the law when overtaking law abiding cyclists.
