    Because they’re allowed to be? Any time a driver kills a pedestrian or a cyclist it is nearly always the victim who is blamed. They commit serious, dangerous errors while driving and only get tickets for it. Licensing is a joke, a literal child is being given license to drive a death machine and never has to test their skill again.

    It’s giant shitshow that everyone pretends doesn’t have a solution but very clearly does- driving should be by profession only. And yes, that would mean rural drivers and commuters would need special licenses to get to and from work.

        Well my first paragraph is just how the law works, I think you can look up your local laws to see my point, but technically it is different everywhere. My second paragraph is opinion, I can’t source that.
