I have no problem with the idea of protecting everybody, provided that everybody have the proper safety equipment and ready to use them if they need to be stopped by the side of the road.
Things like flares, pylons, flourescent vests and whatever else is reasonable to ensure safety.
Ensure safety?
Nobody can ensure safety. Your momma can’t, your daddy can’t, Jesus can, but he won’t. Safety can be enhanced and risk reduced by thoughtful action. Safety can never be ensured. Doesn’t matter how many laws are passed or how many cops are hired.
People should take measures. I do. But not everybody will. That’s fine with me if people want to go out on a boat without a life vest. I wouldn’t. It’s fine with me if somebody wants to ride a motorcycle in shorts and flip flops. I won’t. If somebody drives drunk, and kills somebody they should be charged with Murder One. Not manslaughter. If somebody drives drunk and damages property, they should have to provide full compensation or go to into indentured servitude to pay the bill. But I don’t want the gubment setting up road blocks and jailing people for .08 blood alcohol. It’s way too much power to give the gubment.
So real punishment for loss of life and property. No make work prophylactic law enforcement. That’s just way too much power to give politicians and GED armed union thugs.
