If I was in charge of the Department of Driving Licenses I'd have an entire team just to scour social media (hexbear.net)

The amount of people just posting evidence of them being entirely unable to drive a car with 0 consequences is insane. Great compilation of you raging out over somebody going 5 below the limit, phone in hand in the drivers seat. Really liked when you got stuck behind a lorry for 20 seconds and were frothing at the mouth over it. You're never getting your license back.

many people would not be able to live because of car dependent shitholes being car dependent.

and many people who are killed by bad drivers would not be dead
someone loses either way but i'm on the side of not letting people loose in public with dangerous machinery when they aren't qualified to operate it safely

Stricter requirements and more efficient enforcement would also have a preventative effect. Once people realise that they can get in real trouble for driving like assholes they will drive better.

you have to account for the excess deaths of people you make homeless if you just say fuck 'em like that

i already did
i fall on the side of needing to be able to operate a dangerous machine safely before you are allowed to do so in public where you can maim or kill others through incompetence
