Dracocide | The only thing we did was a check to see if the car was fit. | 20:17:33 |
Spycrowsoft | Yeah don't try the bike friendly cities | 20:17:42 |
Dracocide | I don't like driving anyway. | 20:18:22 |
Dracocide | So... I'm good. | 20:18:28 |
Spycrowsoft | The bicycles come from literally everywhere and how we got there is by essentially writing the entire traffic code such that those with a license are responsible when they get into an accident with those without | 20:18:49 |
Spycrowsoft | So cyclists and pedestrians are essentially holy | 20:19:06 |
Spycrowsoft | And if you're a truck or bus driver regular drivers are too | 20:19:32 |
Spycrowsoft | And in Paris, the drivers also come from everywhere | 20:20:09 |
Dracocide | Tbf, you should be licensed the way that's needed for an A license, or whatever the equivalent is. | 20:21:18 |
Dracocide | And CDL's do require more testing. | 20:22:07 |
Spycrowsoft | A = motorcycles | 20:22:48 |
Spycrowsoft | Am = mopeds | 20:22:56 |
Spycrowsoft | B = cars up to 8 passengers | 20:23:13 |
Spycrowsoft | C and D are busses and trucks | 20:23:46 |
Spycrowsoft | E = B class + trailer | 20:24:46 |
Spycrowsoft | T = tractora and other agricultural vehicles | 20:25:28 |
Spycrowsoft | * T = tractors and other agricultural vehicles | 20:25:41 |
Dracocide | D is a regular car license and A/B/C I believe are different commercial licenses. | 20:27:34 |
Dracocide | M is motorcycle/moped/fast e-bike. | 20:28:05 |
zakadius | In reply to @dracocide:tchncs.de I don't like driving anyway. What? You don't feel safe riding your bike between the parked cars and the fast traffic? | 20:40:12 |
zakadius | Ah man I love matrix and replying to the wrong message | 20:41:27 |
Spycrowsoft | What I noted are the European categories | 20:42:01 |
Spycrowsoft | In reply to @zakadius:matrix.org What? You don't feel safe riding your bike between the parked cars and the fast traffic? XD | 20:42:39 |
Spycrowsoft | The proper way of doing things is separating fast and slow traffic | 20:43:11 |
zakadius | We do have some here in my city but a lot of the time we have to share the road with cars, it's the main reason I don't really bike despite liking it. I don't feel safe. | 20:44:03 |
Spycrowsoft | Share the road in which way? | 20:48:26 |
zakadius | We pretty much have to ride side by side with car and buses. We sometime do have lanes but they are often unprotected. | 20:49:23 |

Spycrowsoft | They drive 60 km/h here and we barely have any accidents | 20:50:23 |
