It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

But I already hear when a car approaches? And the only thing I can do is hope that it keeps some distance to me. What do you do when it tells you there is a car?

It helps when the car is going real fast so you don't even have time to hear it or for people who don't want/can't look behind them to know if there is a car when they turn left.

With a radar you are never surprised so it can help some people to feel safe.

I don't think it changes how you react but how you anticipate.

Even then I don't have a radar on my bike. It's too expensive for my use case right now.
