"We don't ban cars. Yet most drivers break laws daily..." Your explanation is in your own statement. The cars aren't breaking the laws. The drivers are. They are penalized for breaking laws, and if they continue or break a law serious enough, they will be banned from driving.

This is actually a legitimate critique of what I wrote. Vehicle operators, from ebikes riders to motorists need to be the ones blamed for crashes and other bad behaviors. That said, my post is advocating for the same treatment of bikers as drivers. The government doesn't generally seize cars (unless it's blocking traffic or parking), the same process should be applied to bikes.
