    “Pull everyone over “

    I love how you phrase that like it’s some ridiculous impossibility lol.

    Speed cameras. Send them all a ticket.

    “Bad road design is a different problem”

    Yeah just like crashing is a different problem lol.

    “It’s not my fault that orphanage was flammable! I just like playing with fireworks! They should build better orphanages.

        lol do you really think that’s some kind of rebuttal?

        Let’s break it down. Essentially:

        “We can’t ticket everyone”

        “Yes we can”

        “But we don’t like to get tickets so we vote against tickets. Therefore you can’t do the reasonable things leaving our solution of speeding as the only option! so check and mate!”

        It’s impossible because you want to keep it impossible, so you can say it’s impossible, so your idea of just speeding all the time is the only way.

          If you can find an electorate who’d be okay with this you might have a point.

          Those cameras would come down in like a month, what few a local government could afford to put up, anyway.

          They could do this easily on major highways and yet they haven’t yet, precisely because the local government knows it would be electoral suicide.

          A better solution would be pace cars that drive the speed limit with big gates so nobody can go around them. Then people literally can’t speed.

            In my town murder is perfectly fine. Every time someone tries to make a law changing that we just murder them. So murdering people is the only reasonable solution.

            Btw you mentioned one of the deer and one of the car crashes. That means you are at least up to 4 on your body shop count. I once again have 0 wrecks.

            You talk about shitty drivers but it’s you bro. You speed everywhere and keep getting in wrecks that’s are “totally not your fualt“

            If you’re going to eat a hamburger eat the hell out of it

            If you want to speed because you want to just say that. “Fuck you’re safety I’m in a hurry”

            Don’t try to convince me it’s actually YOU who is the safe driver when you keep getting in wrecks.

            Btw we aren’t going to waste our time pushing for more speed cameras lol we are going to sit and wait and gather our energy.

            The moment self driving cars are safe enough we are going to ban human drivers entirely, because humans suck at driving cars.

            That’s the future for you guys. You flat out refuse to drive safely so we just won’t let you drive at all.

              Naw. Too many people like driving, too many emergency situations that require a human. The most that will reasonably happen is people will prefer self-driving and driving test requirements will increase somewhat.

              We very rarely ban old things, we mostly just convince people to use new things.

                We ban dangerous things people like all the time.

                Want to know what I like? Cocaine. Lots of people loved cocaine. They banned it.

                People threw a fit when they made drunk driving illegal too. They still made it illegal.

                People loved asbestos as well, they banned that.

                You can’t even sell milk directly from a cow in most states because of the dangers. Raw milk is banned.

                People are fighting tooth in nail to try to re-legalize weed lol and it’s a huge uphill battle.

                We ban old things all the time regardless of how well liked they are.

                “Too many emergency situations require a human” not really as it would relate to driving… computers have much faster reflexes than a human. They will drive better. So what emergency are you thinking of? Car breaking down? Most people can’t fix thier own car anyway. The only change will be the car calling a tow truck instead of you.

                  So what emergency are you thinking of?

                  You aren’t on a road and the car is confused about how to move around. You are now stranded because you can’t drive the car. I have yet to see any self-driving car even attempt to be reasonable in off-road driving.

                  Your buddy’s cabin in the woods, grass parking at a venue, natural disaster and the road is gone, a country driveway, getting into your backyard with the shit your bought at home depot, etc, etc.

                    “Yet” - you

                    Let’s explain it this way.

                    You are driving not on the road and our confused about why you are. You are now stranded even though you are driving yourself.

                    See. The argument of “well the computer could get confused” people get confused all the time.

                    And again you said “yet” and that’s my whole point. It’s getting there. It’s only a matter of time before the computer can get to your buddies house quicker and better than you. And will probably be able to scan and avoid loose mud and snow so you don’t destroy your buddies lawn when you get stuck.

                    If I was that buddy of yours it would only be a matter of time before I make you park your personal driving car at the gate and walk up like how people don’t wear shoes in thier house. Don’t destroy my yard with your messy personal driving skills. Let the computer find you a place to park.
