micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

And that will never get out to everyone...
And while they may remember, how long will they?
Couple days? Couple months?
How long do you think a 60 year old will remember and pay attention to it over 45 years of driving experience?
It's not if the only way it worked was immediately before the test saying "cyclists won't obey traffic laws".
Like, there'd have to be an automated message that plays every single time you start a vehicle for this to be applicable...
It's a traffic law, you can teach it just like any other. It gets added to driving school's curricula and must be demonstrated in driving tests. You could communicate this law to existing drivers by removing the stop line from bike lanes and putting little bike yield signs, if the intersection warrants it.
Anything to avoid personal accountability I guess...
I've noticed that's a huge trend in this sub, and honestly I should have just blocked it long ago
What are you even talking about?
It's your personal responsibility as a driver to know and obey all traffic laws, even if they change it so that cyclists don't have to physically stop at stop signs.
