    If police cars can ram other vehicles, so can streetcars. The strawman nonsense you posted isn’t a consideration for high-speed pit maneuvers by the former, and it would be even less relevant for gentle nudges by the latter.

      Idk these are flatly not comparable situations. A high speed chase ending in a pit maneuver is EXTREMELY dangerous before, during, after, and even around without being touched. A streetcar pushing a parked vehicle a handful of feet at low speed while ringing a warning bell with a driver keeping an eye on the situation is MUCH safer.
