Let’s just ban driving altogether. Then highway fatalities would go to zero.

Lets just ban driving altogether. Then highway fatalities would go to zero. That, of course, is the socialists' ultimate goal. Rush (the rock band, not the talk show host) wrote a song about it: look up the lyrics to "Red Barchetta".

Lets just ban driving altogether. Then highway fatalities would go to zero.Also carbon emmisions would cease... completely.
The bad thing is that gas tax/ road use tax revenues, for rebuilding roads, would cease. Then where would the money come from to rebuild roads and bridges?

"Lets just ban driving altogether. Then highway fatalities would go to zero."Combined with a dramatic rise in horse theft, road apples, and flies. Unintended consequences are a bear.
For the record, I hate government regulations but just because most rules are stupid and intrusive doesn't mean this one is bad. The problem with the nanny state is that there are so many rules that you cannot keep all of them and it builds contempt for the law.
