“You don’t think anyone gets killed by Sunday drivers? “
I’m sure they do. That’s why we have auto insurance, although I’d rather not be killed. We could legislate against Sunday driving, but the amount of time, effort and money it would take to VERY poorly enforce this law (I suppose there’d have to be a checkpoint at every corner? Affidavits about points of departure and planned destinations, with time stamps? The mind boggles) would put it into the billions of dollars.
You know all this. You are just blustering because you want conservatives on this site to become Libertarians. It isn’t going to happen. Libertarianism does not work in the real world, except on a large part of the economic plane, which was admitted right off and continues to be admitted by FReepers across the board. The sanity of their basic fiscal policy is why Libertarians are tolerated.

So if drinkers and druggers bought insurance that would recompense the victims of drunk or drugged crimes, or their next of kin, that would satisfy you? Or is it somehow worse to die at the hands of a drugged person than beneath the wheels of a Sunday driver?

Funny, several tens of billions is what you're apparently happy to spend on poorly enforcing drug laws.
