bullshite.

Google up traffic accidents and fatalities, property damage and injuries- cross reference records not in good standing.

Then compare to gun deaths.. I'll wait.

Humans have the right to travel freely without permission from the state.

Mandating a drivers license operates on the assumption of incompetence.

There are a multitude of unnecessary administrative fees associated with obtaining and maintaining a license and private car. Some may argue this is inefficiency and waste, and they are certainly burdensome.

Requiring a license and license plate only expands the surveillance state.

The incremental expansion of what licenses are used for demonstrates a slippery slope toward greater government intrusion in everyday life.[/quote

You don't need a license to travel from state to state. You don't even need an I.D. You do need a driver's license to operate a moving vehicle. Operating a vehicle is a privilege, not a right. While the use of the license as criteria for possible government overreach is there, it is really a minimum requirement to show someone is certified to operate a moving vehicle. Just my 2 cents.....

Is this not a political discussion board? You're wishing me luck navigating a life that includes discussions?

Why are you so emotional? I didn't accuse you of anything or take anything from you. If you don't want to discuss this topic, you can always keep scrolling.

Right. And people complain about the fact that they can get them.

Are there tests to own guns?



Well 40,000 plus people die in auto accidents every year even with advanced safety features...

more than double that are murdered with a firearm...

Yeah I'd say a test to drive 4000lb missile on wheels is slightly more helpful and important..

Doesn't this demonstrate the uselessness of the tests?

Assumption of incompetence? Seems like the capability to drive. Many people can’t that grow up in large cities. Having a valid ID while requiring costs is for more reasons than driving, if you don’t want either forced upon you then don’t get the drivers license, to many incompetent people on the roads already

Even if you get rid of that, DL number, tax id, or whatever the government would still be able to find where you live. The only way that doesn't happen is if you go completely off the grid and even then they would still be able to know if they wanted too.

On its face, a license is a low barrier to pass in order to confirm that a person understands the rules of the road and can read/understand road signs, are of an agreeable age to operate a vehicle, and haven't in the past recklessly operated a vehicle.

Without some form of registration and regulations, you'd have drunk 14 year olds driving on the wrong side of the road, smashing into things. So basically, Central America.

In your opinion, these number bolster the argument that driving tests are necessary because they keep people safe?

Probably depends on the state

In Texas for example gun deaths slightly out number deaths related to vehicle accidents. It's so slight that I'm sure some years the vehicle accidents outnumber the gun deaths.

Just from a quick google search:

quote:

The Fatality Rate on Texas roadways for 2022 was 1.52 deaths per hundred million vehicle miles traveled. This is a 3.03% decrease from 2021. Texas experienced a decrease in the number of motor vehicle traffic fatalities. The 2022 death toll of 4,410 was a decrease of 1.03% from the 4,456 deaths recorded in 2021.


quote:

4,630 Gun Deaths in Texas
Based on most recent available finalized data from CDC (2022).


Again, this likely varies greatly from state to state. It's important to note that the majority of gun deaths are suicides however. (At least in TX)

Totally agree, which makes having those numbers put on us it's just another form of control by government, right?

I'm just making the philosophical argument here. It's not like I'm going to be out protesting against driver's license and social security numbers.
