Great point. I mostly focused on the power that cars give to people, revving the engine isn’t a random gesture, it’s a show of power when most people usually have… pen, papers, keyboards… few have power tools but even then, it’s not very powerful. A car or a truck though that’s typically what the average human can exert the most raw power. Nothing psychological or economical. It’s not like having a fancy house that cost a lot of money or showing of, no it’s being in control of a powerful machine. I do assume it is rewiring the brain of drivers… but now that you mention it, it is also coupled with effortlessness. It’s not like being strong when you go to the gym, here it’s entirely decoupled from your strength. This must rewire drivers even more than I initially imagined. Thanks for the hindsight!

Totally on your side with your arguments, just wanted to add what annoys me most with these obstacles on bike lanes.
