My thought today was this: if cars are heavier, they do more harm than bikes even at equal speeds. Therefore, to equalize the safety of cars to bikes so that we are being fair to both, cars need to always be driving at speeds slower than bikes tend to go. Doing that would give people a choice: haul heavy goods slowly or travel light and quick. It would be fair safety expectations that share responsibility equally… sort of.
Yes… exactly. You understand my point perfectly. What 99% call reasonable is not strictly fair if what we mean by fair is what I described above. That’s what I meant by no one wants it to be fair. I would take your point a step further and argue that 100% of people don’t want what I described above and that’s my point.

Good luck with getting a 15 mph speed limit for cars. That's going to take quite the miracle.
Yes exactly. Thanks for admitting that the system's not fair and no one wants it to be.
What you call not fair 99 percent call reasonable.
