No more lending your car to a friend in need, no more letting your children learn to drive on your car or borrow it ever. Families must now own and insure a car for every individual driver because we can't be bothered to find robust solutions for traffic enforcement Shift the problem onto individuals, make it a burden for the public. Typical HN attitude | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Driving cars is a dangerous activity that deserves higher levels of accountability and responsibility. It is commonplace to drive, but has high potential for danger and death. It seems ok to me to have a level of care required for owning a vehicle, and that includes being mindful of who you share your vehicle with. Same thing with guns - if you blindly lend a gun to an acquaintance and they shoot a school, you will absolutely be charged with some crimes, either accessory to murder or manslaughter, where you have to prove that you weren’t being negligent by giving it to them. Guns are dangerous and owning them bears a higher level of responsibility to the owner. Vehicles kill more people, they also deserve responsibility to own. If somebody breaks laws with your vehicle, it’s your responsibility by default unless you prove otherwise. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

I mean, if your kid or friend gets a parking ticket in your car you probably already pay it and collect from them. It doesn’t seem that different to extend this to camera tickets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Or you could ask your friends who borrow your car not to be dipshits who run red lights. If you get a ticket for your teen running a red light, you can have your teen pay for it. Might be a good learning lesson. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
