100% against everything being monitored and data sold like it is….. but part of me wishes there was a way to work towards getting bad drivers off of the roads.

This is not the way to do that as the insurance companies only have one goal and that is to raise profits.

But when you stand on any random street corner and 30-60 % of every driver driving by is looking down at their cell phone, it is very scary.

People don’t use turn signals, speed through residential neighborhoods, change lanes in the middle of intersections, it’s insane. We need to make our world less car reliant, it’s unacceptable.

You get rid of cars and you stop designing society to accommodate the one edge case where someone lives 100miles away from a city that they have to commute by car to everyday for some reason.
