Once you accept authoritarian principles, this becomes easy. Every car gets a camera built in, recording the driver, and putting the data in a black box. If there is an accident, the black box shows what the driver was doing, if it was something in a list of “things known to distract drivers”, we charge them.
But who wants their car recording stuff like speed and the driver?
True.
It’s always a balance.
If driving under the influence gets you in trouble, then texting while driving should get you in at least as much, just my opinion.
The black box already does a great deal, I don’t have too much trouble with that.
I don’t give a rip if you have a few drinks before driving, but if you crash and someone is injured then why should a driver be under any less threat of a comprehensive investigation than a pilot...
