Drinking and driving

Makes sense, DT. It may be a waste of effort for the police to go after seat belt violations - interfering with the course of natural selection.

But drunk drivers kill and hurt other people. They need to get ticketed and when that fails, to get locked up or whatever it takes to stop them.

Police check stops take many impaired drivers off the roads and as long as people continue to drink and drive, they are a necessary deterrent. Unfortunately even the threat of losing their licence, vehicle, or life doesn't stop some, and every year hundreds are killed and injured as a result.

Around here, more are killed and injured while using their cell phones!

Well, I've been driving around with 'discretion' for some time now! A change would be as good as a rest!

impunity and discretion sound pretty boring. Try driving around with abandon and see how it goes.

No! I tried driving with 'abandon' once when I was a teen and it didn't go well!

This from Angora, who only drives with trepidation, if at all.

I hope you don't want travel towards 'flagellation' ? Domination always leads to this!
