And fuck us cyclists... We get run over AND lose our hearing because we're not protected by 1ton of soundproofed metal.

And if that logic was true, we would already have a problem worse than the yank tank issue, where the cars get bigger and bigger for "protection". Every vehicle would get louder and louder to be heard above the other loud vehicles, and eventually living in a city would mean enjoying the non stop sound of atomic bombs exploding everywhere 100 times per second per car.

But unlike the yank tank issue, everyone would be deaf, and then the noise wouldn't matter anymore. I guess that's the best case scenario that those kinds of sadists hope for. They can't hear anymore, so they want everyone else to be deaf as well.
