in this circumstance
driving drunk and using your phone is an action you knowingly take, which is commonly known to be dangerous, and you have no reason to do them
I have no problem with you doing whatever the fuck you want in your car while driving, so long as you behave in a non-erratic way
so as far as I am concerned, it is reckless
drop the "recklessly" language alltogether
Okay, I disagree.
which is why an hour ago, I said we disagree fundemantally
Things that lower reaction time are provably dangerous
and minimizing unnecessary actions that lower reaction time is fine
I don't care about that, all I care about is whether or not the blue kia 100ft in front of me is going to randomly switch lanes or blow through the next light
Do you care about the car behind you having a 3 second delay in recation time
so when the retard in front of you slams on the brakes, and you do
he rear ends you
so then he's liable for rear ending me?
I don't see the issue
Okay, you are now dead
he rear ended you and you hit your head
then he's liable for 2nd degree murder
or whatever
could have stopped it premptively
fuck that
preemptive legislating
is cancer
let's just lock up all black people, because they commit more crimes statistically
fuck it, let's just keep the lockdown going forever, in case people get hurt in the outside world
I think we finally found an issue where I agree with gent and not you when it comes to libertarianism spooky
this is an interesting case study
because 95% of the time it is you and I yelling at gent
and I think the fact you don't drive means your opinion is illinformed
I do not want to be rear ended by a drunk while I am in a car
sorry spooky
but why does being drunk matter?
Reaction time
what if he's ANGRY, and is distracted
is probably lower
and he has no reason why he needs to be drunk to drive
so again, we're back to "Pika hates alcohol"
I get it, easy to demonize
replace alcohol with literally anything
that reduces reaction time
that you do not need to use to operate a car
phone, drugs, wearing 3d glasses
let's just have a law "no bad driving"... but how do we judge bad driving... how about when they violate road markings or harm others
Or, and hear me out, knowingly choosing to do something that you know will increase risks while having no reason why you need to do said thing
is a crime
should I be able to eat lunch while driving Pika
called reckless endagerment
Depends spooky
are you eating soup?
let's say I drove through Chick-fil-A, and am dipping my nuggets in sauce packets
then no
