Rules for people are not the same as a code for a compiler. You may enact a rule, but people are not guaranteed they will comply with it either because they will brake it or they will forget/ignore it.
If a bad rule is enacted and it kills 100 people per year more, will enforcement of the rule bring back those 100 people?
Rules should take into account the stupid things people will do and that in real life you won't get 100% compliance and enforcement won't get you to 100%. (many real life examples)
- tsimionescu 2y agoSure, the results have to be measured and the rules adjusted. But a possible result of this rule is exactly that it will make drivers drive more slowly in general, for fear of hitting pedestrians, which would overall reduce accidents, even outside of pedestrian deaths.
- NoMoreNicksLeft 2y ago> will enforcement of the rule bring back those 100 people? Yes. Enforcement of the rules, when done properly, does save lives. We have psychology studies that show that judgement/punishment needs to be swift/certain. When that is the case, human behavior is altered (sometimes permanently). > and that in real life you won't get 100% compliance and enforcement No one needs 100% compliance. We need something up near 98% or 99%, which is achievable.
