    Funny how nobody wants to realize its the same argument isn’t it? Same goes for DUIs fatalities and prohibition.

      Thing is, I’m only half joking. Driving really is about the single most dangerous thing most of us do regularly, people don’t take it seriously enough. I’d much rather have viable public transportation options, but I live in the suburbs of Phoenix so that’s not going to happen in my lifetime.

        I agree, the numbers are clear. But cars and prohibition aren’t good virtue signals to get people elected, so people don’t do it.

        Also funny how nobody ever says you don’t “need” a car, and then tell you to take public transit.

        Especially those cars with evil features like comfort shifter handles, and rear spoilers, you know, assault cars.
