You should take the bus, then.

Teddy Roosevelt worked to break up Trusts, and rail was one of them.

KNOW YOUR STATISTICS! 95% of all tickets go uncontested. This is a cash cow for your government, and running the courts are expensive relative to the fines being collected. 5% of all tix get contested and 3% (60% of them) are thrown out.

Does not pay to be a square. I listened to the announcement that I gotta go git one NOW ‘cause deadline’s a-comin. Meanwhile, I can’t fly anywhere (buddy got covid on trip to Italy last month!), and now all the hassle was hype.

I”ll see your RV theory and raise you to some sort of unibody altering crash that left everything front of the B pillar OK at the same time that there was a front-end totalled car or the rear half only for sale on a salvage title (or no title at all) at the wreckers for $551.00 the same month.

AAA is an insurance company. You buy a “policy” that they call a “membership” and they price the “policy” in such a way that they take in more money than they spend to run the policy.

My motorcycle is gone for that very reason, and I really, really loved my bike.  We are slipping as a society, and enforcement is too lax.

“(gasoline) infrastructure that will only be disused in 15 years”
