May hinder safety efforts?
I'm pretty sure this throws safety right out the window.
The fact is that these aggressively capitalist jerkwads know how much money people waste on buying, owning, customizing, repairing and otherwise operating their "personally owned" vehicles (since buying doesn't seem to be ownership anymore, I have to put this in quotations because that's what they call it; but it's not necessarily what it is).
So all emphasis is put on cars, cars, cars! Everyone else better get the fuck out of the way, or your life is forfeit. They tried this a long time ago with jaywalking. The charge of jaywalking is almost entirely stricken from legal records because it infringes on your freedom to travel under your own power in open and public spaces, which is constitutionally protected.
