I love when people complain about dangerous drivers because... there are some dangerous drivers out there! However, the solution isn't, like, a surveillance state. The solution can be found (in part) in actually investing in free public transportation and a variety of transportation. The fact that we often live in a very hostile world for pedestrians and non-motorists is a travesty, and helps contribute to the mess that is driving.

You don't need to ban certain people from being able to drive. You need to pressure your local and state governments to actually invest in trains, buses, trams, taxis, public bicycles, well-maintained sidewalks and trails, and whatever may be best for your community. Banning certain people from driving isn't going to effectively keep drivers safe.

#politics #this is kind of about people 'joking' that old people and disabled people should have their licenses revoked #what the hell other option will they have if driving is the ONLY option?#not only should public transport be widely available it should be free (public)#i'm not for banning people from driving if they haven't proven they are dangerous because of their actions...#...it just bothers me seeing a modded car for somebody's disability and everybody's like 'we should BAN people like YOU driving acktually'#maybe less people would drive regardless of their ability or inability if they were given other options #if there were trams in my town? boy i would be crocheting in there day in and day out #i like driving but trams????? holy shit. TRAMS...#there's a tram system in the Big City in my state and i am so envious
