There are kinds of driving that are fun and already not allowed on the road. For example, racing, or rallying, or just going very very fast. There are private tracks where you can pay to go and do that. Or sometimes they close the public roads and put up crash barriers for a big race. But they don't let you mix up your desire to go 200 MPH with regular commuter traffic.
- gambiting 10y agoI never said anything about driving fast. I actually really enjoy my 45-60 minute commute to work, because controlling a car is just cool - and I get to listen to my favourite podcasts/music while I drive. It gives me a sense of satisfaction and of something well done when I reach my destination. Getting the car in the right gear, hearing the engine thrum - you don't need to be doing 100mph to enjoy that. But again, I don't want to be convincing anybody that they should love cars, that's not my point.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoAgain, I think everyone understands the cool factor here. The point is, fun should not be used to determine what is or isn't allowed on public, shared infrastructure, especially if it causes danger to other people.
