    If a tree crosses a red light in the forest and no cops are there to hear it, is it illegal, chat?

      Not everyone should be allowed to drive, either. Meanwhile here in Texas they give you a license regardless of any proven capability to use your eyes or think.

        You have to have a low bar as to who is allowed to drive when driving is a requirement for participating in society.

    I mean, what is illegal? If there is no enforcement (around me there are cops on the road like 2 days a month) then there are no road laws.

      Right! Like whenever I have a little oopsy daisy in my car I just take a breath and remind myself that laws are threats made by the dominant socio-economic, ethnic group in a given nation. It’s just a promise of violence that’s enacted and police are basically an occupying army.

        Traffic laws are also there so you don’t kill someone with the multi tonne steel missile you are operating with such nonchalance.

      The IRS says you have to write yourself a ticket so you can pay tax on it. This is how they got Al Capone’s driver.
