It is sensible for bikers to oppose the proposed law because the theory of risk compensation suggests that automobile drivers required to fasten safety belts will drive faster and more recklessly, endangering pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists.

The cost of the tow-truck system is plus ,000 in delay costs. The cost of the vaporizer system is ,200 plus the value of the vaporized vehicles.
