Cyclist killed by Moped rider in bike lane

THIS is a really sad story.
Moped rider kills cyclist in bike lane.
I am constantly being cut up by food delivery scooterists here in SE London. They are forever using bike lanes to nip through traffic and without fail they will always park in the bike ASL when they know they shouldn't.
Something really needs to be done.

Moped rather than e-scooter, in case anyone else misunderstood at first.

How do they compare, weight-wise? Out here in the sticks, only a certain pizza chain seems to be using mopeds so there aren't many of them, while the branded bags either use e-bike or cars... and the cars are forever driving along or parked on cycleways and ASLs while I've yet to see a moped doing so.

Fixed.
Here in London there's a heck of a lot of moped food delivery drivers, more so then ebikers.

How do they compare, weight-wise?

Typically in the 75-90ish kg range for mass.
