I don’t know what we are discussing here. When the cake starts going stale you serve, yourself, bigger slices. “Hey look, cake. It is going stale ...” Bon appetite

“Eat it faster” works, too!

I found Jalopnik hoping to read about cars, not hatred for Republicans.  My group of (admittedly older) car loving friends are mostly Conservative, but like to keep politics out of most of our car talk.  You hippies have fun, I'll move along.  In case anyone wants to have an open mind, go read for yourself about NMA,…

So deleting comments that expose the hit piece are “ok”

I pretty much agree with 99.9% of what Jalopnik posts but this hit piece is pretty bad journalism. It appears the Collin Woodard spent no time in researching the actual NMA stance on DUI which states: “The NMA supports DUI/DWI regulations based on reasonable standards that differentiate between responsible behavior…

The NMA is not against going after Drunks. This was a hit piece. Go ask em. I’m a member and they told us about the hit piece.

There are legit areas to criticize DUI laws and especially enforcement, but personal responsibility ain't one.

I think you should really read the dui exemption to the Constitution to get an idea of all the ways they strip you of your rights in the name of “fighting dui’s”. I watched a video here recently of a man in Colorado getting locked up for a dui despite blowing a 0.00.

I think DUI laws are messed up in this country.

The NMA’s stated policy positions are actually quite reasonable.

Well, drunk driving laws are stupid, but not in the way he’d have us believe. There are states where people have more than a dozen DWIs and somehow manage to avoid life in prison. Meanwhile people sit on death row for more than 3 decades for crimes they didn’t commit.

im genuinely not sure what youre saying here, however:

If you’re stupid and selfish while operating a forklift for your job, for example, they take away your forklift license, and the job you needed it for. What I’m saying is they should do the same for cars, and you better believe people would shape the hell up if they did. These things are trained in from birth (unless…

Well fortunately you’re not in charge of this. 

Lol, 2.8M people die every year from obesity. Call me when they start regulating McDonald’s food and forcing people to exercise.

Being “too stupid” or “too selfish” are both training issues. If they can’t be overcome then that person needs to not be allowed to drive at all.

I’m sorry, but this sounds really dystopian. The idea that they’ll stop at requiring speed limiters is laughable, this will definitely morph into some kind of “driving credit score” that’ll give the insurance companies so much ammo to fuck us even more.

So go ahead and limit the speeds and people will still die in droves because the speed is not the issue, it is driving fast while distracted by ones phone that is the issue. Taking away higher speeds is not going to fix the rampant stupid that is prevalent on the highways.

“Speed was a factor” is such a funny phrase to me. Yes of course it was a factor, if no one was moving, nobody would have ran into anything! Speed is a factor at 10 mph when a truck runs over a pedestrian!

Imagine blowing billions of dollars chasing the next big technological revolution all because some idolized attention seeking narcissist was willing to promise the world it would be here “next year” over and over and over again. When in reality he was offering essentially the same fucking driver assistance as other…
