You shouldn’t be on roads that are heavily trafficked by fast moving vehicles with this kind of vehicle in the first place.
I own an electric Ranger (not Highway legal) for around my place and it fills a real need. There is no need for airbags or anything of the like on it. I didn’t even bother purchasing it with a windshield. The biggest threat to me in that vehicle is the dense vegetation and steep hills I often drive through.
I think there is an expectation around safety levels of different kinds of vehicles. If I buy a car that is capable of going 100mph, I expect it to have features that will help me survive a crash in those conditions. However, a motorcycle is a completely different kind of vehicle with different expectations. I don’t think a reasonable motorcyclist expects any thing remotely close in safety to that of a car despite also being able to reach the same conditions.
- gtirloni 4y ago*> You shouldn’t be on roads that are heavily trafficked Please help me understand. NEVs are road-worthy but not all-roads-worthy? Is there any law against NEVs in heavily trafficked roads? If not, it's left to common sense?
- nephanth 4y agoIn France they're banned from highways, but legal on most other roads. In practice though, since they're limited to 45 km/h, people avoid driving them on anything way faster than that
