>>>I understand the coercion issue of federal highway funding and that is problematic.

Having said that, driving habits are not an issue of privacy unless you are on your own land. Sorry, this is totally different than smoking in your car or any other issue on a very practical issue.

You can get all righteous all you want, but driving on a shared road is only private activity under the “your right to swing your fist stops at my face” theory.

There is no right to drive carelessly on shared roads because that infringes on the rights of others driving on those roads.<<<

I agree 100%. That is why STATES should have laws to promote safe driving. The FEDERAL government has absolutely no business getting involved, however.

luxuriate in the purity of your own irrelevancy and unworkability then. But don’t you dare cross a damned state border, or you will be in violation of your own pure demands.
