We’re nearly a decade into the age of Islamist terror via motor vehicle, beginning with the 2016 Bastille Day truck attack in Nice, France, that killed 86 people.

New York should be hardening vulnerable public spaces. Instead, the city relies on temporary measures and good luck — leaving us little better prepared than New Orleans.

Last week’s New Year’s Bourbon Street attack, which killed 14 people, is the fault of one person: ISIS adherent Shamsud-Din Jabbar of Texas.

But vehicle terrorism is a fact of modern urban life. The New Orleans attack came two weeks after a Christmastime vehicle assault in Germany that killed five people.

We’ve had other such incidents here: In 2017, an ISIS terrorist driving a rented truck killed eight people on the Hudson River bike path on Halloween.

Earlier that year, a drug-crazed Memorial Day attacker (of hazy ideology — he got off due to insanity) killed a tourist when he plowed a car through Times Square.
