I have a driving license of germany, which allows me to buy the lamborghini killeveryoneinstantli WRX V-Tec10 SHO V12 and drive that.

What I can’t buy is a funky chinese small EV that is limited to 45kph and realistically does 30 unless there’s 8 middlemen involved that offer a certificate of conformity that seems mostly based on the reasonable hope that whatever crashes the drivers of those get into kills them instantly and as such can’t sue.

I’m a cyclist for god’s sake, I’ve made my peace with god. Just occasionally I’d like to not eat shit in icy conditions on my bike or not get hail’d on.
