How can you have a speed limit for bicycles? They donâ(TM)t have speedometers!

Cycling 20mph (32 kph) on a normal road bike is easy. Here in the UK, e-bikes require peddling and the assist has to stop at 15.5 mph (25 kph). Anything else is illegal and requires a helmet, insurance, license and the bike has to be registered and have plates fitted.

There is also a problem with illegal e-bikes here, as well as them being used in crimes or causing a nuisance. But the far bigger problem are cars exceeding the speed limit. This is more dangerous.

And then thereâ(TM)s the culture war propagated by the right wing hate-bait media who claim the left are waging a war against cars and cyclists are the root of all evil and need to be banished. Theyâ(TM)re dehumanising cyclists in the eyes of some drivers who respond with aggressive, intimidating and dangerous driving.

Probably contains bugs for things theyâ(TM)re still including in recent versions of Windows.

Sounds like you're referring to the EU, not to Europe.

Since when has the UK not been European? Or was that a joke?

Europe is cheaper hey? Let me introduce you to HS2: budget in 2020 was £98 billion (USD $132B) for 230 km. That's over $570 million per km.

It might be a reality, but that doesnâ(TM)t make it a legitimate excuse as you first stated. Itâ(TM)s bad, lazy parenting.

Bullshit. There are plenty of ways to sit with children in restaurants without resorting to screen time or the children annoying everybody else. I say this as a parent myself. No doubt it starts in the home and every other minute spent with the children: how do you engage with them and how much effort do you put in to helping them stay or entertained. It's called parenting.

It's true, N. American vehicles seem to have misaligned lights a lot more often than European ones. N. America headlights also have a different cut-off pattern (non-existent?), which maybe is partly to light up overhead road signs, whereas European headlights have a very distinctive horizontal cut-off with an up-sweep to light the edge of the road better. This is why, for example, UK drivers put stickers on their headlights when taking their cars to the continent: it covers the up-sweep so it doesn't dazzle on-coming vehicles.

Thatâ(TM)s not true. The UK is a G20 country and doesnâ(TM)t have a federal system, let alone a federal government. The UK governmentâ(TM)s Department for Education is only responsible for England; the governments of the other UK nations are responsible for their own education.

I've also noticed that Teslas don't have blind spot protection lights in their wing mirrors. I guess Tesla has invested so much in their other tech that they want the driver's eyes on the in-dash display rather than up at road level physically watching surroundings. When I'm cycling in London, I'm often faster than cars and one of my defensive tricks coming up the inside of a vehicle is to look in the wing mirror to see what they driver's doing in case they're going to make a sudden unsignalled turn, and so I notice these lights.

Youâ(TM)re comparing a runny turd to a floating turd. Theyâ(TM)re still both turds.

Donâ(TM)t they all do that? I rent a lot of cars, and canâ(TM)t remember a car with a reversing camera that didnâ(TM)t have guides that adjust with the turn of the steering.

Why doesnâ(TM)t it surprise me that youâ(TM)d do something passive-aggressive? Pointless too because your mirrors are unlikely to be bothersome. But, you say itâ(TM)s a hassle, which suggests your attention is distracted from the road and worse, youâ(TM)re trying to dazzle somebody else, which of course could result in an accident.

I like to be able to look through the window of the car in front so I can get a better view of the road ahead. I canâ(TM)t stand being behind vehicles that block the view of the road.

IIRC, both Netscape Navigator and Netscape Communicator were free for personal use and at a cost for commercial use. I don't remember paying for it or having trouble acquiring it, whether it was the browser with the pulsing N at university or Communicator at my first job. Maybe it was an honesty thing at download or install time?
