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.

Insurance can't fix what ever is done to a person that is hit by a car
But will cover the medical costs. It's not pretty, but, it does what it's meant to do.
A bike at 40km/h could definitely kill someone. It could also make them disabled for life.
At least insurance will help with bills.
