Driving is a privilege. Historically, the solution to irresponsible driving is to revoke that privilege.
Why should law abiding drivers be subjected to surveillance caused by the irresponsible crowd? Why is removing one’s driving privileges not enough?
Proactive monitoring/reporting is the stuff of slippery slopes and Minority Report is the direction we’re going at this point…
- notriddle 5y agoIf you want to treat driving as a privilege, then the city needs to be built with non-driving citizens in mind.

All you’re doing is taking a slip of paper away from people who have already demonstrated themselves to not only be irresponsible but also indifferent toward the law. In fact, revoking driving privileges can be counter productive because it takes away their ability to be insured while driving.
