Even a lot of the 'e-bike' deaths are because ... an e-bike/car collision.

MODERATORS
To be fair I have a number of clients who work ER and apparently lack of helmets is a huge driving force in e-bike deaths
But absolutely cars just arent looking and theyre so big now the outcomes are worse
Big, and fast. The number of times I heard about someone getting caught doing nearly double the posted speed limit since 2020 has gone up by an order of magnitude, and it seems like the government's best idea to fix things is just keep raising speed limits. I will grant that's anecdotal I can see a valid argument for making speed traps harder to set, but we need to replace those with something, because it's getting ridiculous how poor driving enforcement is encouraging the worst driving behaviour.
Honestly I think they should bring average speed cameras here. They would be very effective on a few choice corridors.
