Who ate significantly more of a risk factor

2020-02-15 03:44:13 UTC  

Are

2020-02-15 03:44:23 UTC  

The young

2020-02-15 03:44:26 UTC  

It doesn't matter if they can do something when they don't

2020-02-15 03:45:00 UTC  

There is no incentive for them to and they clearly don't, hence they're more likely to kill someone on the road

2020-02-15 03:45:02 UTC  

Not every young driver is reckless and irresponsible.

2020-02-15 03:45:14 UTC  

Statiatically more of them are than old drivers

2020-02-15 03:45:20 UTC  

Every single old person has slow reaction times.

2020-02-15 03:45:25 UTC  

My spelling is awful

2020-02-15 03:45:46 UTC  

Is okay

2020-02-15 03:45:54 UTC  

It doesn't matter if old people have slow reaction times when the old people are far less likely to kill and maim others on the road

2020-02-15 03:46:08 UTC  

Like it's functionally irrelevant

2020-02-15 03:46:58 UTC  

Whether it's experience, hormones, mental stability or what, the fact is that a 20 year old driver is more likely to kill another person by their driving than a 75 year old

2020-02-15 03:47:12 UTC  

That is an absolute fact

2020-02-15 03:47:17 UTC  

They're not functionally irrelevant? They can and do hurt people although a lot less than the youngsters most of the time.

2020-02-15 03:47:29 UTC  

I'm not denying that

2020-02-15 03:48:00 UTC  

But what you're saying is you want to target a small group of people rather than the bigger, more dangerous group

2020-02-15 03:48:15 UTC  

Even though it disadvantages that small group far far more

2020-02-15 03:48:23 UTC  

And benefits fewer

2020-02-15 03:50:16 UTC  

There are a lot of old people who have to use their cars to get shopping, they can't walk far enough and/or don't have cab or public transport availability to do it any other way, nor can they afford deliveries or even use the technology properly to arrange them, they probably wouldn't pass a current test because they're older and slower, but they're also less likely than 22 year old joe who passed 5 years ago to crash

2020-02-15 03:50:32 UTC  

My targetting of dangerous users on the road isnt mutually exclusive to the elderly. Having slow reaction times as they get older is the only thing I'm trying to talk about, I believe the current laws do not do it justice enough.
Again, completely seperate with young people and their problems. Deal with the young and the elderly both.
I dont understand what you're saying...

2020-02-15 03:51:39 UTC  

Tough luck? If you cant drive responsibly whether that's because of old age, drugs or alchohol. That's a You problem.

2020-02-15 03:52:08 UTC  

Being slow has nothing to do with responsible driving

2020-02-15 03:52:47 UTC  

>They probably wouldn't pass a current test because they're older and slower.

YES! That's why they shouldn't be allowed to be on the road. That's the point.

2020-02-15 03:52:59 UTC  

I disagree

2020-02-15 03:53:28 UTC  

What.

2020-02-15 03:53:39 UTC  

Things change over time, I'm not even middle age and I doubt I'd pass the test here as it is now, the test now is vastly different from when i passed my tests

2020-02-15 03:54:01 UTC  

And i also formed habits which are not seen as good driving practice, but are realistic driving practice

2020-02-15 03:54:15 UTC  

Are you suggesting reactions times have nothing to do with responsible driving?

2020-02-15 03:54:18 UTC  

Que

2020-02-15 03:54:20 UTC  

a licence isn't a right, it's a privilege. tough shit if you lose or don't have one

2020-02-15 03:54:21 UTC  

Yes

2020-02-15 03:54:35 UTC  

Reaction times absolutely have 0 to do with responsible driving

2020-02-15 03:54:41 UTC  

<:what:382980756139409409>

2020-02-15 03:55:03 UTC  

Because a good driver drives in a way that compensates for their own reactions, as well as weather conditions and vehicle capability

2020-02-15 03:55:11 UTC  

Therefore whether or not you can use the breaks in time has nothing to do with responsible driving...

2020-02-15 03:55:19 UTC  

Correct

2020-02-15 03:55:28 UTC  

Do you like drive?

2020-02-15 03:55:43 UTC  

The distance you leave between you and the vehicle in front is the responsibility

2020-02-15 03:55:53 UTC  

Your reaction speed defines how close you drive

2020-02-15 03:56:18 UTC  

A bad driver will sit too close to stop, a good driver will give adequate space
