The cagers kill two more cyclists.
Hope it encourages people to support more bike infrastructure.

Green paint isn't going to stop drunk drivers. What needs to happen is drunk driving needs to be a mandatory 5 year sentence and crashes caused by drunk driving need to be a mandatory life sentence but we're living in a bizarro world where you get a fine and a temporary suspension instead.

Furthermore I'd like to point out that advocating for a bike lane through every alfalfa field in bumblefuck nowhere is neither viable economically nor a smart political strategy, whereas everyone understands "tough on crime" and criminalizing motor vehicle homicides is *slightly* more realistic though still a very steep hill to climb.

Unlike some "tough on crime' strategies the data on drunk driving homicides is unambiguous. Stiffer penalties result in fewer deaths.

But do go on about how Oldman Township NJ should totally put green paint on this road and it would have somehow magically prevented this.

Statistically, driving while using your phone has a higher rate of causing crashes. By this logic, I believe that drivers who use their cell phone while driving and causes a negligent collision should be held to a higher degree of punishment than driving while intoxicated because it is a concious decision to negligently drive while cell phone distracted

>>
>>2016026
>>2016029
There is never going to be a bike path on every road. Not even in the netherlands. You are a shill for the AAA and your true goal is to rationalize making it unsafe to travel on public roads by creating an outlandish definition of acceptable riding conditions instead of taking the pragmatic approach of disincentivizing violent drivers. You aren't fooling anyone. Forester did nothing wrong.

>>2016019
That would be nice too. Make drivers fear the consequences. There is no reason we can't do that, but AAA shills want total motorist impunity while they create disinfo campaigns about muh bike path

It was cloudy and hadn't rained for 6-8 hours. And because the press has rules:

-if a cop killed you in cold blood, you "had no known active warrants"
-if you actively kill someone with a car, "the car clipped a cyclist (who wasn't in the bike lane) with its front bumper, the cyclist then lost control of the bicycle and went through the windshield"

>>2016127
Reminder to bike lane people that you are on this person's side
>>
This is just one more incident that goes to show that drivers licenses and vehicle registration should not be given out freely and haphazardly. Instead prospecting drivers should be regularly tested to a standard that is actually selective and tested not only for their understanding of traffic law but also sanity, integrity and character. Any person demonstrating negligence in their use of motorvehicles should lose any permission they may hold and not be eligible for reissuance.
>>
>>2016146
I think we should just set a target number of active driver's licenses (based on stuff like population and infrastructure capacities), and then let people thunderdome for the license quota. Like, dynamic prices for license renewals based on quota remaining, aggressively revoking licenses for driving violations because "we want that quota in the hands of the better drivers, not the worst," regular retesting of qualifications like you said.
We have too many cars on the roads (which is why congestion is so bad!), so we should get behind pulling the worst drivers off the roads so the better drivers who are driving for more socially-valuable reasons like work can get around easier.

>>2016219
Only in some jurisdictions do some roads have a requirement for vehicles using them to have a top speed greater than a set limit. Funny enough it's often less than somene sprinting on a bicycle.
I have not yet read a law, from anywhere, that states a nominal speed that road users or users of select roads need to exceed.
>>
>>2016223
>I have not yet read a law, from anywhere, that states a nominal speed that road users or users of select roads need to exceed.
Probably doesn't exist. What does exist are regulations like we have in Germany that for example state that to be on the Autobahn your vehicle needs to be able to exceed 60km/h. This obviously doesn't mean you're not allowed to go bellow while on it but it gates vehicles that have no business being there.
>>

This. We need a driving license and registration for cyclists.
Also cyclist tax and yearly mandatory bike inspections.
>>
>>2016227
That applies to interstate highways in the US or what are colloquially called "freeways", those are restricted-use roadways like your autobahn, where slow vehicles are not allowed.

A two lane local county road between two small towns, with farmhouses on both sides? There are no such minimums there, because it's the only road that exists and everyone from tractors to pickup trucks or, in this case, bicycles, has to share the same roadway.

It is the anti-bicycle lobby aka the car lobby in the US that promotes the idea that no public roadway used by motor vehicles should be usable by anything less than a 3500 pound sedan, "there should be bike lanes" means "there should be a mandatory sidepath law" which means "no bikes anywhere except in these little recreational containment zones. These people do not want bicycles to be used for transport, ever, anywhere, because then motorists would have to exercise caution and face consequences.

Forester did nothing wrong.

Funny how this thread onve again serves to highlight the general mindset of the cager.
It serves to show that the cager is not, as some like to suggest in his defense, simply unaware of the consequences of his actions. Instead the cager is actually selfish and often even vile if not outright evil. The cager is either aware and at least indifferent or unaware but wouldn't care or change either.

This is the exact reason why bicycle license and registration are needed.
Cyclists need to learn accountability.

Also you're evading the point. It is the lack of ability, strength, determination, drive, and will and the addiction to comfort and laziness - all which are defining traits of the lower classes - that motivate the motorist. Also some weird poorfag signalling perhaps. So again: There's hardly anything more homosexual than accepting undignified means of transportation that employ a motor and a foreign energy source to move you.

neither you not your cuck government bought and paid market prices for the land roads are built on. Also you're not compensating society for your actions. You're literally dependent on the most subsidized industry there is. In all places around the world where there is a major automotive industry it has ties to the cuckbermint as strong as it would have in a communist state. It doesnt work without. You're literally depending on the highly pigmented inhabitants of africa, arabia and the likes and supporting terrorists, dictators and war with your motoring and domestic heating.
Motorism has been pushed by big government historically and has reached a point of normalization where braindead mongrels stopped questioning. Because many of its implications were only found about later. If there was a new invention, made today, that was equal in adverse effects on society, individuals and ecology and was equally pointless or easy to substitute for everyone would know what to call those who would advocate for making use of it, let alone adopting it widely.

People who drink, get into a car, and kill people, deserve to be executed. It should be treated the same as intentionally doing it, because it is intentional. If you drink and drive, you intend to drive impaired.
Execute like 3-5 convicts and drunk/intoxicant driving fatalities would halve the following week. Keep it up for a couple of months and people would sober up quick.
Same should apply to vehicular homicide while disqualified or voluntarily distracted. Those truck drivers who rear-end families on stopped lanes, with their cab camera watching them checking their phone, should be publicly hanged.

Yeah the fact that you can have 12 beers and kill 2 people and get a $150 fine isn't a problem, it's "driver entitlement", brilliant take
>>
>>2016756
the problem here is that they killed two equally entitled cyclists, not people.

otherwise they get a whole lot more than a fine, as they should.

"People" like you will cry about how he should be executed but then look at articles like this and don't see a problem with it

An event so rare that literally every instance of it makes the national papers. Every injury described and printed.

Meanwhile, if one of the dudes KILLED in this story wasn't a hockey player, it wouldn't make news outside the county. It just happens all the time, everywhere. Trucks and cars hitting and killing cyclists and pedestrians. Thousands of times a year. Everyone sighs like it's a weather report.

This is where I'll level with you; someone should have taken a bat to that cyclist's teeth.

No I get drunk, become incapable of proper judgement and then drive. You sound very bigoted towards alternative lifestyles.

Don't feed the troll mate.

Too bad dem car-humpin' mfs at the top ain't carin' for anythin but dem bottom line. Such tragedies can and will be used to just bolster the fear of not driving a car.

I fuggin hate that shit, but man do I hope that it doesn't stay that way

bicycles don't belong on the road, cars do, tranny.

In New Jersey? Nah. Not a chance. No one will learn anything from this except "don't ride".

We can go harsher on drunk drivers but ultimately addicts are gonna addict.
Used to be drunks would pass out upstairs in a bar but that hasn't been a thing in the states for decades. Aus still does it, but few other places.

We gave up on that when we prioritized driver safety over pedestrian safety (see: SUVs). Now they can slam into a wall at 50 MPH and walk away unscathed- why bother paying attention to what's in front of them? (I say rescind driver crash safety ratings. Make them optional. If a bad driver dies, they die. Maybe they'll drive more carefully and stick to speed limits, IDK.)

Fuck that. Call murder, murder. You hit someone, you blow over whatever, executed on the spot.

That's why you need BETTER crashworthiness than a car, which is easy with 3 wheels and roll cage, and pedal assist to make the human power equal to being on a trek 12,000 I'm a dumpy doughy yuppie who thinks I'm lance armstrong carbon fiber bullshit. And of course a black box recorder to prove the attempted murder.
>>
>>2015974 (OP) #
John Forrester fan was right, except about paying for it with your life. So crash worthiness of a car, only made possible by safety cage, reversve trike, pedal assist to offset all that weight, and a black box to tame the car bitch.

Somewhere in your fantasy you forgot that a plastic card doesn't stop someone from getting in a vehicle and driving anyway.

Murdered by the state DOT. It's ridiculous that they allow people to joy ride 2T tanks and have normalized it.
>>
>>2017152
Just do 10-30 years of political activism until you can get your road changed before you have the gall to use a bike line
>>
>>2018761
State DOT first, they are 100% liable for every road murder by allowing cars on the road to begin with.
>>
If there is a single vehicle death on a road then the road should be closed, at least to that specific kind of vehicle. It's a complete design failure, it's as if bridge collapsed and people keep driving on it.
Unless... unless roads are designed to kill you.

Trump invested heavily into cycling in the 90s

Legalize cycling on sidewalks. They'll give you a misdemeanor for trying not to get run over.

Apparently not heavily enough, else he wouldn't be the hamplanet he is today
