Coulda woulda shoulda whatever, thats not reality. People break rules and punishments aren't effective at stopping them. So come up with an effective way of stopping it without ruining people's lives or shut the fuck up. No one deserves their life ruined over speeding, and if you think they do then I hope you get to experience the other end of the stick.

Hahaha, that's what I love the most! The downvotes come flying fast 'n furious on driving-related posts. It's so consistent, across any social media or forum site. I can only speculate, but I think it's the cognitive dissonance, because know from extensive real-life observation that driving makes people miserable and angry, even while they claim to enjoy it. Thus, it's really easy to make observations that puncture the illusion.
Our criminal "justice" system sucks, period. It's about vengeance, and racism, not about rehabilitation. We should reform it from top to bottom for every crime, not simply exempt one in particular because folks wanna zoom-zoom.
I agree with you largely. Although I don't think people downvote for the cognitive dissonance, at least thats not the reason I do. I live in a very rural state, and even the most industrialized cities here have dog shit public transportation and are not bike-able or walkable. I also do not want to live in a city, so I really have no options but to have a car. Personally, when I hear people say "get rid of cars" it feels very privileged because it comes off as a very blanket solution that is really only achievable in cities and other urbanized environments. Otherwise I do largely agree with boosting public transportation and other non-car centric solutions, and obviously I definitely agree with completely replacing the justice system around one of rehabilitation and addressing problems that cause crime in the first place.
