  • (I live in one of those areas, so I know. It has some public transportation, but it doesn’t go through residential areas, so you can only get between business areas, and a little bit of downtown.)

    In a perfect world, that alone would solidify the push to be less car dependent, but we can’t even rise above Nazis, so that’s not happening before there’s another digit on the year number.

    Driving is clearly better left to professionals, generally speaking. I wish it was all buses driven by people with excellent teaching and capability, but getting that kind of fleet up and running would take a lot of time. Driving would be a huge job market suddenly.

    And danger would plummet. No one would need to outrun anyone, or need a nap, or be distracted. You could have a fairly low age of oldest driver as well.

    But for now, FAFO.


  • Honestly, zero. I’ve always said first drunk driving offense should be immediate, permanent revocation of license. First offense. Zero tolerance.

    It’s bad enough to deal with regular mistakes and texters. DUI offenses are treated so casually it’s actually a meme.

    Maybe after a very strict re-training. And signing something acknowledging EXTREME consequences if they get caught again.

    And none of this pleading out stuff, either. Even if they’re just sleeping drunk in the driver seat in a parking lot. No mercy.
