on the other hand how is one supposed to live without being able to drive in the us?

[-] spongebue@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

It's pretty damn hard, no doubt. But that doesn't mean everyone should be able to drive by default and we should just do away with driver's licenses (or whatever you may be suggesting)

Also, it's pretty stupidly easy to get a license here, and easier yet to keep it.

if i'm suggesting anything it would be public transit.

if some guy is prohibited from driving but has no alternative to go to the doctor, he will just risk it and drive anyway. makong the punishment ineffective and possibly turning it into a snowball for the driver.

Even if he "had" to cheat and drive, he could've chosen to be like a minute later and call from anywhere except a driver's seat of a moving vehicle.

yeah he could not have been dumb

You know what's funny? You calling him dumb, when it was probably someone exactly like you, with your subpar reading and comprehension skills, that made the clerical error showing his license was still suspended when it had actually been restored.

  1. It very much is possible, and this coming from someone who walks with a cane.

  2. That doesn't excuse driving with a suspended license, unless you're at the level of "Abolish driving licenses" Libertarian Party style; licenses are a basic safety precaution and suspending one is supposed to reinforce the seriousness of the offense of unsafe and illegal driving.

  3. You can drive in the US without livestreaming it to your judge (shocking, I know).

Live in a 15-min city?

Push for more public transportation?

Millions do it all the time.

The solution to your immediate personal problem is to work towards a cause I support.
