Fuck the lock, ban them from driving. Inexcusable.
Driving under the influence is a ban able offence (reckless endangerment) in most countries.
So is a proper driver's ed before giving even a learner's permit. US loves giving a multi ton killing machine to untrained people with impulse control. And teenagers
I agree with you, but the difference is that, in the US, people NEED to be able to drive to function in society. That's why the bar has to be so low to get a license.
I'm sure the lives lost were worth it so that alcoholics and irresponsible people can keep functioning in society. /s
Perfect solution. Really needs public transit or walkable cities to work so win-win.
Of course better transit is a better solution, but at least while America is waiting for that, ride-hailing services can help fill a gap. Expensive? I have little sympathy for people who drove drunk on that count.
Comments sections. Where nuance goes to die. All context is flattened and your views must be expressed as black or white lest you get branded as having the wrong opinion.
Better nuance dies than innocent bystanders as the drunk driver plows into people.
Amen, Lemmy is in the starting stages of how reddit went my brother. It's inherent to the format
I don't think alcoholics should be allowed to drive, is that too much to ask?
Driving is a privilege, not a right, and the roads are already dangerous enough as they are.
