At least in the US. Hopefully other countries do better.

    Blaming individuals for systems failures is the oldest trick in the book for avoiding fixing things. Google “The nut that holds the wheel” if you want to learn more, eg this article

      only twelve of the twentyfour states which require licenses to drive insist on an examination of the applicant

      Wait what? Is this for real? I’m in BC in Canada and it takes a written and two practical tests over 2 years before you can drive normally.

      I agree but you’d literally have to take peoples vehicles a way.

          New years eve: the only night when trams run all night here. Better than 0 nights with trams I guess.

          That would be good too but doesn’t help with idiots. The only help there is catching them and there’s way too many.

            If there were better public transit options then people would have the option not to drive. Let the “idiots” drive and hit each other, I don’t want to drive with them but I often have no choice.

        Just make it more expensive or better, transit less expensive and more convenient.

            So have you heard of this thing called a drivers license, which can be suspended, and is required to acquire the “freedom” to drive in the first place?

            You say the problem is idiots. We already have a system for weeding those out. We should be using it.

              We should be and we do, but my point about idiots is they will be driving and breaking the law anyway.
