Treating bikers poorly is not just a U.S. thing, I’ve seen it the EU too, pretty nasty interactions. Drivers should be heavily fined for endangering people in more vulnerable situations.
Edit multiple people saying losing driving privileges, I think it usually works that way for repeat offenders. If someone does it once and the fine deters them then mission accomplished
Fined? They shouldn't have the privilege of driving.
Then they will just drive without a driving license like sovcits and police just won't bother pulling them over.
If the only consequence of breaking the law is a fine, then it's legal for the rich to do it. If a person can not be trusted to drive safely, they shouldn't be allowed to drive.
