    That’s a very serious crime though. If you get pulled over without a license, it’s a several thousand dollar fine.

      Cool so how are they supposed to ever get a job a home and live?

      Should we just jail them for life to make it simple?

        This is why the governor’s policy will work well. It let’s drivers stay on the road until they’ve been caught with many infractions. It’s a very different story when you take someone’s license away after a few speeding tickets versus taking their license away after a few speeding tickets, then several months of well-documented continued speeding incidents every time they drove. Losing your license has serious consequences in modern society, but my sympathy for dangerous drivers has a limit.

        how are they supposed to ever get a job

        By respecting the speed limits? Wow, my idea is so novel, disruptive, and revolutionary!

          So if they don’t respect speed limits they should be effectively exiled from society into poverty or jail?

            Is this post in fuckcars? No? Well it should be. We should be investing more in public transit and building cities people can live in without necessarily owning a car. Your participation in society should not hinge on a multi-thousand dollar purchase of a car along with the yearly insurance and other maintenance costs.

              Yes we should and you are 100% right but that isn’t the society we live in

              We live in one where you cannot live in a true survival sense in 99% of all locations without a car

              Until the public transit and walkable cities exist the wrong people are being punished

            If they are incapable of driving, and being a part of the statistics of people who kill others on the road, they must not drive. That’s easy. It’s not a death sentence. We prevent pedophiles from working with children, same thing.

            Or we remove all the speed limits and seat belts being mandatory, but we know from 60 years of statistics that the numbers of people killed on the road will be multiplied by 100.

              You don’t prevent pedophiles from working you prevent them from working with kids

              Under your own obscene pedophile analogy it’s actually much more appropriate to put speed limiters on cars than remove their cars entirely

              You don’t prevent them from driving you prevent them from driving too fast

      And the rich will just pay it and continue, it’s the poors that will suffer. But yeah it would be their fault because this would only be used after a number of offences that they could have just slowed down.
