Sarcasm is a way of expressing anger and seems to be more prevalent (and better understood) in cultures that have a history of being oppressed. I'm pretty sure Daniel wasn't going for laughs here.

Won't someone please think of the poor defenseless motorists?

When did all the newspapers get together and decide to be as right-wing reactionary as fucking possible about fatal car-cycle collisions? Another death, another round of righteous indignation on the part of our upstanding citizen drivers. It's their RIGHT to pay as little attention as required by law while operating heavy machinery at speed.
