The argument here is also how freedom is interpreted.
I say do anything you want but don’t hurt anyone.
It has become, do whatever you want regardless of others.

I do think that the auto and oil industry lobbied (and brainwashed) this
country to make it auto-centric and that driving is a right. Compared to other
countries, the penalties for traffic violations are very low. It is very hard
to lose a driver's license in the U.S. And that there is no re-test over time
or at a certain age is a problem.

It seems the privilege to operate a motor vehicle is misinterpreted as being
a right when it is not.
The basis for not imposing tougher laws, in my opinion, stems from this
misinterpretation.
