Every 6 months or so I'm like "what if I had a cute scooter to drive around places", and then I remember that driving any kind of motorcycle is a very quick way to get killed, even more so now that I have to share the road with the malfunctioning robots.

Road vest that has a Stop Sign on the back.

Something that looks like a glowing red traffic light on the back

hehe... Strap some car break lights on the back that you can control with a hand switch instead of needing to actually break to activate them. (Assuming that the Tesla doesn't mistake you for an Emergency Vehicle and speed up towards you.)

for real. little scooters and e-bikes are perfect for so much urban travel. basket for groceries, helmet that says, "I am The Christ" or whatever is cool these days.

literally all that stops me is getting murdered by all the crazy driving boxes and cagers.

almost got T-boned 2 days ago by some guy blowing a red light. if there had been any peds, they would be done-zo and if I was on something two wheeled, I would probably have a broken limb from having to ditch.

If you do, I recommend something in bright colours. It's just a small bit of added visibility.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
