Smaller vehicles are the splat marks on the road they are are unsafe to be on the road.
Not often seen by others they are in blind spots they don’t see other cars when attempting to merge around in traffic and have very little protection for the driver no plus side to them period.
Another flyover type who has never driven in Manhattan or Central London or any Asian megacity. Motorcycles, ebikes , escooters are the dominant personal vehicle in those urban cores especially Asia sure there are cabs and ubers. The only large vehicles in those cores are delivery vehicles and they are taxed out the nose in London, Asian cities and now NYC just to enter. There is a 25 mph or less speed limit in every one of those megacities. NYC, London both have speed camera’s that just mail tickets for going over 25mph so no splat the average speed of Manhattan traffic is 5 mph or less. Been there done that. Compared to a bicycle, or other two wheeler these pprovide shelter from the elements and A.C. Or heat. What part of these mini cars are not for highways , or arterial streets is so hard to understand. Urban cores with under 30 mph speed limits is perfect for two, three and quad cycles four to a lane, nose in parking 3 or 4 to a single meter spot. You are safer in a quad than on foot or a bicycle against an uber car or a can that’s the comparison not to a sedan or suv neither would be in an urban core for the average person. It’s $75 each time you park a car in Manhattan, $12 to cross the bridge in or $24 without etoll. And $25+ to enter the lower Manhattan core each time you enter. London has less parking than NYC and higher congestion fees. Forget cars in the high density cities only the truly wealthy drive then from valet to valet parking. Asian cities just don’t allow outside cars in your plate shows your allowed area’s.
