In over 4 decades on earth, I haven't come across this sentiment before, but now that I'm considering it, I kind of agree.
I'd be sad if all public roads went that direction, but I think I'd like the peace and safety that could come with prohibiting anything like "spirited driving" on public roads in densely populated areas.
- rootusrootus 3y agoIn densely populated areas, I'm with you. But out in the sticks, on a twisty road outside the city? I don't want to live in a world where the safety nuts have succeeded in making life dull, gray, and boring... but super safe.
- fabrice_d 3y agoIf the safety issue was only about the car driver itself, I would say go for it. Unfortunately this often cause troubles for others. So your "in the sticks, on a twisty road outside the city" -> closed track for that purpose.
- rootusrootus 3y agoWe're not talking about whipping through the back roads at 100mph. I legitimately can't figure out whether it's the left or the right that is more authoritarian. Both sides really love the idea, it seems, just on different topics. I hope the great big center reasserts sanity sometime soon.
- fabrice_d 3y agoI was talking about people speeding up on winding roads, passing without visibility etc. There is nothing authoritarian about asking that to stop.
