And yet I couldn’t reasonably argue for raising the driving age either since you need to drive to do anything in this god forsaken country. For teenagers to have anywhere near the level of autonomy they should have they have to be able to drive.
To me cars represent the opposite of freedom. To even drive one you need to be old enough and not disabled. You need to afford to buy one and maintain it. If you use it to go somewhere you need to make sure you have a place to park. And you’re not free to do what you want when you get to your destination since you need to be sober to drive home.
True freedom is stumbling drunk onto the subway at 2am and getting home for $3.

Yeah, I’ve absolutely hated the idea that cars represent freedom. You are required to have one. Freedom my ass
