    What do the blue waves signify?

    Your friend is crazy and probably going to lose a mirror at some point.

        In North America, the best that can be done is a license suspension, between a few months or maybe a year or two in extreme cases. Even that doesn’t stop people from driving though.

          Lol wtf

          How is there not the concept of someone being too dangerous to ever drive again

          Hell, that frankly applies to a good chunk of everyone over the age of about 80

            It’s because our whole society is built around having a car. There is no real alternative. Taking away a license inflicts a major burden on them. The idea that “driving is a privilege, not a right” is a cruel joke.

            I had a friend who’s mom had a seizure while driving. Her foot jammed the accelerator to the floor while going downhill. She didn’t hit anyone, and survived the inevitable crash, but there wasn’t much left of the car. It was likely going to happen again, and yet the state did not take away her license. Now, the family was responsible and made sure she didn’t have to drive anymore, but not everyone has a responsible and proactive family like that. There are almost certainly people with similar medical issues driving around right now, and it keeps me awake at night. Not even an uncontrollable medical issue that makes you a rolling time bomb is enough.
