    I actually like driving for the most part, and I think that I’d like it even more if people who weren’t forced to drive weren’t driving, and if the people driving were well-trained and medically cleared as safe to drive.

    If we had those things I could do a hundred miles an hour on the highway everywhere. It would be awesome.

      I actually don’t mind driving so much as I mind driving in heavy traffic. Driving along on an empty road, or lighter traffic at least, isn’t so bad.

      But society pretty much forces everyone to drive. Even people who don’t want to drive or are simply bad at it.

        Now imagine if everyone you met on those low-traffic days knew how to zipper merge, and were intimately familiar with the idea of “keep right, pass left.” And their cars had to be maintained perfectly to even be on the road.

        This training and maintenance is why some sections of the Autobahn have no speed limit.
