It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Alrighty,

So your system knows the exact situation and still is slowing down my bike, just at the moment I need to accelerate to avoid being overrun by that large truck heading into me.

How stupid are these folks? We've got rules, when people don't follow those rules, you fine them. Case closed.

No system to prevent a bike speeding, teach people to obey the law.

Lol, yeah. I mean ODB-II would only be needed for older cars. New cars are all backdoored. It's probably technically feasible with no modification on anything made in the last couple of years... And if you're in the city when your city pass expires they can just lock you out and call the city to tow you, just like if you skip a loan payment.
