Ok so what’s the solution to bad drivers? Take away their license? All of them, before they hurt somebody?

Take your average motorist and assume that half of them are worse than that. How exactly are these people supposed to exist without a car - without first changing the infrastructure?

Quick edit for context: cars are the worst and the sooner we stop relying on them the better. But steps have to be made to slowly make that transition.

Take away their license?

Not issue licenses for them in the first place. That’s the intended purpose of licensing. I guess the solution to bad drivers is raising the bar on licensing.

That’s still dodging the question about how they are supposed to live without being able to drive. Just having poor driving skills should not be enough to prevent someone from participating in society.

Unless you’re lucky enough to have been born into a city with great public transit options, you’re screwed without a car. That isn’t fair.

You’re sidetracking a ridiculously simple issue. Having poor driving skills should prevent someone from driving. That’s as simple as it gets.

Oh, so simple! Why didn’t anyone else think of that?

I always assumed everyone would think of that, @apprehensively_human exemplifies the contrary, apparently.

Yes. People should pass driver exams every 5 years, and police should be less lax with dangerous driving.
