    Why do we think it's a good idea to make people spend like two months when they're 15 learning how to drive, and then they never have to think about it again? I bet Diane fucking Feinstein probably still has her driver's license.

      95% of the country is a food desert with no public transit or sidewalks, so all you can do without a car is walk/bike for miles to go to the dollar general

      a horrifying number of people think even that meager test of competency is government tyranny

      and to be honest, the first point means I can't strictly disagree with them. their solutions are idiotic ofc and we need public transit

        Yeah. Like, should 16 year olds be allowed to drive? Definitely not, but as it currently stands in much of the country that’s the only way to leave your home

      There's a huge chunk of the USA where the roads are straight lines with nothing but wheat for several miles in a row. It could be the some of the people writing our transportation laws genuinely think driving is that easy everywhere. Get a few Bostonites on the council and they'd have a different attitude.
