Alrighty,

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

How stupid are these folks? We've got rules, when people don't follow those rules, you fine them. Case closed.

No system to prevent a bike speeding, teach people to obey the law.

Lol imagine you are trying to go max speed to not get robbed, they see you are going too fast and slow you down. Then the robber catches up and robs you lol

This seems ripe for workarounds.

It's not too complicated to fix a motor to your normal bicycle. I wonder how well this will implemented.

That said I'm surprised this is coming from Amsterdam, considering they're both very pro bike. And I also see very little controversy coming from the Netherlands in general (farm laws primarily)

Very pro bike but only bike. Pretty much any other modality device is banned from public bike paths.

People need to start registering and insuring bikes and bikes used in public just like cars in my opinion.

Have them use their own license plates and everything.

If you get three fines for going too fast on your bike let it get confiscated for a few weeks/months.

As long as there's close to zero bureaucracy and the process is seamless and digital, sure. I'm totally against anything that puts less people commuting by bike on the streets, and complicated registration is one such thing.

Many bike shops will register the bike frame serial number for you when you buy it.

Sure thing, have the parents register the bikes when they buy them. If the kids aren't responsible the parents get the fines and can decide if the kids get to keep their bike or not.

Switzerland had this up until 2012, when it was abolished because it cost more to administer than it was worth.

Overcontroll of citizens free will. A recurrent problem in northem europe. Because the goverment knows your safety and ethics better than yourself. And as some people view it:

Because of that they have the right to force your actions into what works best with society. Because individuals don't matter just collectives. Because enforcing is justified as long as it has an ethic basis, whatever it is.

It sounds dystopian and it is. Societies of the penitence, societes with ideals more religious than real religions. Where suicide rates are high, and society happines also is.

[-] GeneralVincent@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, it should be more like America, land of the free and happy, where suicide rates are lower!

oh wait...
