    Ok so obviously if you have a medical condition that makes you unsafe to drive, you shouldn’t drive. If you don’t maintain your car that’s entirely on you. If you choose a car with poor visibility you’re purposefully endangering everyone around you so you shouldn’t drive. If you don’t understand the rules, you certainly shouldn’t be allowed to drive but that’s a whole separate issue.

      Not everybody has a choice or an option, there are so many places in the US where the place you live absolutely necessitates the use of a car to do literally anything related to living your life. Living in places with actual transit infrastructure that allow independence from cars are sometimes too expensive or have high COL’s

        People have the choice to move. I’m sick of this “no choice” horseshit people do to justify unsafe driving.

        “Well bonking baby heads with a hammer is the only job here so I have to do that. I’m not a bad guy I’ve got no choice”

        Unless you live on a little island with no trees to fashion a raft from, but plenty of baby bonking jobs, you can go to a different town.
