I agree about pedestrians, but cars changing lanes should to be aware of their surroundings, including cars that are approaching them.

Cars accelerating at unreasonable rates

How do you define "unreasonable" though, especially with EVs that can accelerate quickly?

Unreasonable gives cops and judges a lot of leeway. Words like that should be illegal. If you can't pin it down, it can't be a law.

Unreasonable is any rate of acceleration that other cars can't safely navigate around and amongst.
