Talka about irrational, all the following new laws and penalties for e-bike riders because a drunk driver killed a teenager riding one. Surely the wrong target, how can this lot defend anyone against a drunk driver?
Little wonder they can't reach a peaceful settlement with the Palestinians when they have such muddled thought processes:
"The new electric bicycle rules announced in October imposed harsher fines on violators. Those caught riding a bicycle without a helmet now have to cough up NIS 1,000 ($268).
Fines of various amounts were introduced for previously unlisted violations, such as transporting another rider, cycling while drunk, or using a cellphone, as well as for riding through a red light.
Cyclists are also now required to wear safety vests at night.
The new measures were instituted after a teenager was killed in September by a drunk driver in Tel Aviv while riding on his friend’s bike, an incident that drew attention to growing safety concerns over electric bicycles."
I would have thought the growing safety concerns would be over people drinking and driving!
