Most drivers do not take their driving job seriously. We all should. As soon as we are near other drivers, our small mistakes can have big consequences. If penalties were measured by cost, driving accidents would be much more expensive. The result would be an overall increase in insurance costs and (probably) seriousness applied to driving.
But when you drive down the road, you will see people talking or texting, doing makeup, talking to passengers (with their heads turned toward the passenger, as if that's necessary!), and so on.
Small stupid mistakes cost a lot of time and materials, and sometimes physical harm.
- thaumasiotes 5y ago> If penalties were measured by cost, driving accidents would be much more expensive. This just isn't true. Almost all of the cost of an accident falls on the people in the accident. Where that's just one person, no system is necessary to put that cost on him, because it's already there. Where there are multiple parties involved, the existing system already puts all of the cost on the driver determined to be at fault. Costs to third parties are a negligible part of the cost of accidents, much too small to be worth considering at all.
