Even a license suspension doesn’t necessarily change behavior: A federally funded study found that 75% of people with suspended licenses continued to drive.
I know part of this is related to sociopathic behavior, but the bigger part of it is probably that we really need better public transit and should design walkable cities instead of cities based around cars.
People still have to get to work, to the doctor, pick up their kids from practice, etc.
- kstrauser 2y agoTrue, but my understanding is that you can get an exception for driving to work and those other kinds of things.

- dfxm12 2y agoI hope my point was clear. We shouldn't let dangerous drivers back on the road because it would otherwise be inconvenient for them. Designing walkable cities has benefits beyond the obvious, including keeping criminals off the streets.
- kstrauser 2y agoAh, yes. I totally agree with that. I live somewhere that you could be just fine without a car. That's the exception in my experience.
