Who cares what their reasons are? How does it even matter?
As mentioned previously, I have only been in two accidents throughout my entire life and both times I was hit by someone else while at a complete standstill. That said, I have come close to getting into an accident on a couple of occasions. In every instance, someone either swerved in front of me or slammed on their brakes in some sort of ignorant display of pomposity. I ignore every single speed limit sign I see; not because I have some sort of misplaced disdain for the state, but because speed limits are entirely arbitrary and do absolutely nothing to keep a person safe. If people would concentrate on driving safely withing the limits of their ability and environmental/vehicular limitations, most accidents would not occur. And certainly not the sort of accidents which I nearly became victim to.
I raised the question of going extreme speeds on a flat, open highway in the middle of nowhere with not a car in sight - and what then should the punishment be? Many, if not most, members wanted prison and banned from driving for live plus seizing the car and huge fine because a school bus full of children would be beamed by tele-transportation in front of that car killing all those innocent children.
It's called envy. They can't do it so they want it criminal for you to do it. That is a flaw of mob rule (ie democracy).
