  • Indeed, props to OP for caring about their neighbours. In some countries motorcycles are banned on certain roads because of the nuisance.

    When riding through built-up areas I try to keep the noise down on my ICE bike (which isn’t that loud to begin with, BMW R1200RT), but ideally I take my electric bike. So much fun to ride without disturbing other people’s peace and quiet. That also means that I can ride it any way I like, because hard acceleration is about as quiet as normal riding.

    Yes, and as far as I know so do the UK (even air rifles are rather restricted there) and Singapore. There will undoubtedly be others, but I’d be surprised if that’s anywhere near a majority (if you consider strict gun laws to be the ones that make it very hard for people to legally own firearms).

    I wouldn’t go as far as saying a total van is totally normal everywhere else, because I don’t know many countries with such a ban. I don’t know many other countries with concealed or open carry laws, so that’s certainly a difference.

    Countries like Switzerland and Germany prove that private gun ownership can go hand in hand with regulation and enforcement, and not cause as many casualties as in the US.
