    i was driven by an uber driver yesterday who seriously thought cycling should be illegal.

    his rationale was that bicycles are “unregistered vehicles and so if they cause accident who is going to pay?!” when i pointed out that probably they should pay just as anyone else he just dismissed it like this: “that is not possible. if a cyclist crashes into me and kills me who is gonna pay me?!” i was speechless after that.

      I guess walking should be outlawed too, after all someone could be walking on a sidewalk and accidentally bump into you and knock you into the street. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

        I’d love a quick gif of two people accidentally bumping into each other and causing a huge explosion like every time a car crashes in a movie.
