...They seriously need to be arrested or executed.

Yeah yeah I know there's going to be the whiney virtue signalers here who say otherwise and talk about the importance of life and all that dumb crap...but these people are literally making thousands late for work and costing everyone hours of thier life, just so they can be inept worthless drivers. They dont deserve human rights.

I doubt they are...they probably are justifying it all as unavoidable as worthless idiots often do.

And even if they are...its not enough.

I usually do honk and throw trash at them though when I finally am able to pass...not that it really fixes the problem but it's the least I can do.

Worked in insurance for about year...enough to see that theres almost never an accident that couldn't have been avoided if the person wasnt negligent... unless it's done to a parked vehicle (and sometimes even not those) so yeah I dont see the point of giving anyone a pass just because what they did is technically called an accident. Cheaters call hooking up with someone who's not thier significant other and repeatedly and purposefully ramming private parts together and accident as well...dont you know?

If everyone else is out in the same rainstorm not having that same accident what makes the person who fucked up special...besides thier own unique negligence and/or carelessness?

So we're back to what needs to happen to these special fuck ups...and I'm still sitting at jail time or execution depending on severity over here.

That's why it should be a government enforcement, i.e. If you pass your advanced driver's license then insurance can't charge over X amount and cannot refuse to insure them for that reason. If an insurer refuses to insure then the driver could request an investigation checking if the company has insured an equivalent driver previously, which would lead to some kind of harsh penalty.

The thing is, that "stupidity" is usually more carelessness/apathy than actual stupidity. Everyone knows you're supposed to drive on the right side of the road. Knowing that doesn't stop people from driving on the wrong side of the road if they feel entitled to take that risk. Retesting would only catch genuine incompetence, not people who competently choose to ignore the rules when nobody important is watching.

That said, there is a lot of merit in the idea of requiring mandatory retesting after, say, age 60. That's a specific subset of bad drivers, though.

it makes it a lot easier to impose stricter penalties when we can show that less than 5 years ago you understood the rules.

That's sensible and would cut down on a lot of the old age-related collisions. Good luck getting such legislation passed with all of the baby boomers in their 60's now, though. Even more so where boomers grew up with the "you must have a car to be independent!" propaganda, so having their licenses threatened would be considered a personal insult (to say nothing of how vital car ownership has become in many North American areas).

Eh, I don't know about that. Ignorance of the law isn't an excuse for violating it, especially when you're driving around with a signed contract stating you understand and will follow the rules of the road. It should be perfectly possible to impose stricter penalties without needing such proof, since they are themselves claiming to understand the rules every time they get behind the wheel.

I really don't know about that. Even the ones who say they didn't know the rules when they're caught violating them could very well be lying to save face. Some of the more nuanced rules like proper merging and implied minimum speed limits for fast lanes (which should really be explicitly posted), maybe, but accidents aren't typically caused by people not knowing nuanced rules, they're caused by people speeding or running stop signs or not checking blind spots. Everyone knows those rules, they just ignore them.

Cars are geared so you can run a low rpm on the motorway so inherently they can significantly exceed the speed limit. Also, speed isn't inherently dangerous, misuse and negligence is, so stopping speeding doesn't stop accidents.

Check the statistics: age-related risk of accidents, highest risk 16-45. accident rates start dropping after age 45 with the lowest risk of accidents: 65 and older.

Speeding is being negligent. Clearly, many people can't control themselves from treating the roadways like a NASCAR race, so stop making cars that can speed. Oh wait, less accidents and less speeding tickets means less profits.

Cars are geared so you can run a low rpm on the motorway so inherently they can significantly exceed the speed limit.


So limit their speed some other way. Every new car on the road has a computer in it, and that computer can very easily do that. Heck, with GPS, you could even have the speed limit change on the fly, so people aren't able to do highway speeds in cities (though that would probably be more trouble than it's worth, given how dodgy GPS speed limit detection can be).

human error is the cause of just about every accident youve ever seen. we've already established this.


While true, that's a pretty useless statement. If you want to decrease accidents, you need more specifically-targeted measures than "you should all stop making mistakes," and that means identifying specific risk factors. Speeding is one of the varieties of human error that contributes to accident rates. Designing cars to be unable to exceed local speed limits is one way to address that, thereby reducing accident rates.
