Quote by: Decider By this logic why not abolish red lights at intersections? Adults can negotiate an intersection without a law designed to decrease the likelihood of a crime/accident. Right? Wrong. Red light laws are designed to prevent mishaps. We don't wait for crashes and then sort out the mess in court later. |
Leave the stoplights, let the possibility and punishment for having an accident be the deterrent.

I specifically refuted this exact analogy.

Besides, one of the "rules of the road" is driving while sober. Those rules are set by local government. Violate those rules and you go straight to jail--as needed.

I'm obviously barring that rule.

Quote by: Gamb I assume that there aren't any drunks not making sloppy use of common traffic skills worthy of being pulled over. Missing a stop sign, forgetting to signal, swerving, braking too late/early, other erratic behavior. |
You're assumptions mean nothing to me - we're in a
debate.
You're doing nothing to back up your assertions, you just continue to repeat that it's "wrong".
