Safety standards like seat belts, airbags, turn signals, brake lights. Things that protect the individual operating the vehicle.

Cyclists on the road are supposed to use hand signals to indicate turns, just like cars whose blinkers are not functioning

I think you’d get your answer by looking into how that works with motorcycles, since that’s a better analogy than cars.

Yea this is a good point. I think bicycles should be required to have some lights at least to make them more visible to drivers.

please tell me it's a joke.
