Yes, this is a fine example of a situation that potentially could add another nail in the death bed coffin for use of motorised bicycles.
If it was a serious crash, where police or ambulance were involved, the logical thing for police would be to advise government officials to simply ban motorised bicycles, because if it saves only one injury or even one life then banning them from use would only be a good thing for the community.
This is how all manner of recreational pursuits are banned or so heavilly restricted or over policed that it becomes pointless to try and enjoy the hobby.
Every time i see something like this it frustrates me to no end.
