In a lot of countries it is normal that children and teenagers use bicycles. Once teenagers start taking driving lessons they should already be aware of this. Refresher courses would be more helpful.
I get why you say that, and I don’t even disagree, but I would like to point out that it will only be partially effective.
I live in Cleveland, so the only thing seperating us from Canada is a lake. That should give you an idea of how cold it is right now.
Well, people are assholes, and don’t shovel their snow. We had a pretty decent snow storm last week. About 2 feet in 3 days. In response to this, nobody has shoveled their sidewalks, so now everybody walks in the streets.
Last night I saw a guy walking on the street. Plenty of room around him. He was as far to the curb as he could be. 4 lane road (2 per direction).
A guy came around the corner and nearly hit him. They get into a screaming match about how he should be on the sidewalk with 2 feet of snow.
So the guy backs his car up, drives straight at him, and tried to hit the brakes before his car hit him. Well, icy road meant that his brakes didn’t mean shit. He just straight up hit and run’d him.
Thats when I started recording with my phone. He drives off several hundred feet, pulls into a driveway, turns around, and then drives by again with his middle finger at this guy who’s still on the ground.
This exercise would help and work for those who have empathy. You just have to remember, not everyone has empathy.
I mean that’s kind of the point. People without empathy will only see a problem with something when they have personally experienced the problem. That is literally the point of the exercise. You put the assholes who lack empathy in the shitty situation they constantly inflict on others so they see how it feels first hand and suddenly they care. People with empathy don’t need to be taught this lesson.
Every driving school in the whole world should do this when getting a drivers license.

Sounds miserable. Around here you get 48 hours to clear the sidewalks before the city comes by and does it for you and sends you a bill.
From what I’ve heard the bill from the city is far more expensive than hiring a service.
It’s standard boilerplate in leases that the tenant is responsible for snow removal.
It’s not going to be a 100% effective tool, but it doesn’t have to be. We have other means of dealing with criminals.
In this scenario, a long prison sentence along with a permanent ban on operating vehicles seems warranted.
