Laughing in EU
Eh, there are good parts to it as well. The only Federal ID I have is my passport, so there's no reason for them to track me across state lines. If I get pulled over in Oregon, they don't necessarily know my driving history in California or Nevada, so I'm more likely to get a warning than a ticket. If I had a Federal ID, they'd probably communicate across state lines more.
It's mostly bad, but with a silver lining.
How about driving reaponsibly instead?
I mean, I do. I've had three tickets over my entire driving career, each in a different state, and nothing in the last 10 years. I've also never been in an accident.
But I've been pulled over something like 10 times total for various reasons (registration expired, headlight out, speeding), and because I'm a responsible driver (no infractions or warnings in the prior year or two), I generally get warnings. If warnings were national, one or two of those might have turned into a ticket, and those would probably be fightable in court (but I'm not going to travel hundreds of miles to fight a $100 fine).
How about understanding what an example is?
