There’s no good reason for them to be on the road. Consider the following:
-
They’re extremely loud and cause noise pollution
-
They’re very dangerous on the road and have high accident rates
-
They’re bad for the environment and cause air pollution
-
They’re extremely inefficient as they can only carry 1-2 people max
-
They can’t carry cargo
-
They’re dangerous for pedestrians
-
They’re very demanding to operate
-
They’re virtually useless in the winter when there’s snow, ice, and hail
-
The people who tend to drive them tend to be assholes who don’t respect road laws
People complain about cars all the time, and while our car dependency is definitely a big issue that we need to address, cars still have a lot utility. Motorcycles on the other hand? Not really. I think getting rid of them once and for all is good way to immediately make our roads safer, simplify traffic, and open up a pathway to move away from cars.
They follow all legal noise limits same as every other vehicle
Its the riders right to risk their own life that’s called liberty
For co2 Car: 166 g/passenger km, Motorcycle: 113 g/passenger km
Efficiency wise u clearly don’t understand what a relative measure is. Also see prevouse point about co2
That’s a personal choice
They are less dangerous for pedestrian (learn about inertia)
Again its ur right to inconvenience yourself (a pedal bycicle is more demanding than a motorbike should be ban them as well)
See previous point
If u wanna make an argument rooted in “people who do bad thing xyz tend to be abc” can be used to justify racism (Google what proportion of crime in us is committed by black people) therefore shit argument
I get that this is unpopular opinions and that’s fine ur welcome to have an unpopular OPINION but ur just flat out factually wrong/have no regard for personal liberty.
