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.

    Downvoting not because it’s an unpopular opinion, but because your arguments are largely incorrect.

      Tell OP why their argument is flawed, and upvote the post so it gains exposure among other people who may hold the same flawed beliefs.
