    Because they’re allowed to be? Any time a driver kills a pedestrian or a cyclist it is nearly always the victim who is blamed. They commit serious, dangerous errors while driving and only get tickets for it. Licensing is a joke, a literal child is being given license to drive a death machine and never has to test their skill again.

    It’s giant shitshow that everyone pretends doesn’t have a solution but very clearly does- driving should be by profession only. And yes, that would mean rural drivers and commuters would need special licenses to get to and from work.

      Any sources to back up your rhetoric?

        Well my first paragraph is just how the law works, I think you can look up your local laws to see my point, but technically it is different everywhere. My second paragraph is opinion, I can’t source that.

          Yep. Actually both paragraphs are rhetoric.

            Technically, yes. I want fewer people driving and I will do what I can to get others on board. But you’re using rhetoric as a replacement to say that I am lying when I’m not.

              Technically you are stupid.

                  I didn’t say anything that would require backing up.

                  It hurts when people call you out, but please point to my rhetoric.

                    I don’t think I’ve ever spoken to anyone as oblivious as you are, my friend. Good luck and have a nice day.
