    @gabriel @sooper_dooper_roofer @mondoman712 Because somehow drivers have decided that driving is a right in the same sense that freedom of association is a right.

    That any restriction on their ability to drive, that any monitoring of their driving in a public place, is somehow against civil liberties.

    That the law should be reinterpreted to suit them. That “causing death by dangerous driving” is somehow less serious than manslaughter (aka murder 3).

    Freedom to drive has never been a constitutional or human right. Certainly not in my country nor in the USA.

    Cars need to be regulated for the same reason that guns need to be regulated.
