At least in the US. Hopefully other countries do better.

    Blaming individuals for systems failures is the oldest trick in the book for avoiding fixing things. Google “The nut that holds the wheel” if you want to learn more, eg this article

      only twelve of the twentyfour states which require licenses to drive insist on an examination of the applicant

      Wait what? Is this for real? I’m in BC in Canada and it takes a written and two practical tests over 2 years before you can drive normally.

        Or provide them with public transit that runs as late as the bars are open

          New years eve: the only night when trams run all night here. Better than 0 nights with trams I guess.

          That would be good too but doesn’t help with idiots. The only help there is catching them and there’s way too many.

            A reliable public transit system would remove the need to drive.

            If there were better public transit options then people would have the option not to drive. Let the “idiots” drive and hit each other, I don’t want to drive with them but I often have no choice.

            So have you heard of this thing called a drivers license, which can be suspended, and is required to acquire the “freedom” to drive in the first place?

            You say the problem is idiots. We already have a system for weeding those out. We should be using it.

              We should be and we do, but my point about idiots is they will be driving and breaking the law anyway.
