just a mustang doing mustang things.
I was waiting for the driver to lose the rear end going around the corner.
Identifying is the issue here right? Make them easier to be identified.
What about the state requiring blinking tail lights on all bikes that travel on public roads? Ebikers too cool for a light would be investigated easier. Violators with the light at least would be easier seen on the roads.

Why stop there? Make all road bikes require registration and lights. E-bike or otherwise... I'm honestly not 100% against the idea... and it might actually do some good towards drivers' hatred towards road bikers... and maybe it would cause more riders to actually follow road rules.
While I enjoy road riding, I've also spend a lot of time commuting on roads often used by road riders and I can totally understand why drivers can get so angry at bikers.

Some dude in a pickup pulled alongside me to tell me the blinking light on my Varia was distracting. Drivers will never be happy until we're completely off the road.
I just finished grant Peterson’s book. He claims that blinking lights cause target fixation. He says to only run solid lights.

I get it. I've found myself doing that when riding a bike behind someone with a blinking light. I run my Niterider tail light on solid with a slow frequency strobe for that reason.
