MODERATORS
Activists say that Giovansanti is a poster child for the urgency of passing the “Stop Super Speeders Act,” a pending bill in Albany that would force the worst repeat speeders to install a speed limiter in their vehicles.
Crazy that this is the suggestion. Point system like in most of Europe and take the license away when no more points. USA is really wild.
Wait you don't get points on your license if you break the law in the US? Wtaf
In most areas, you can only get a point on your license if an actual officer gives you the ticket. You can't get them from automated speed cameras. Most of these tickets seem to be from cameras.
Why would he get tickets from his friends?
Exactly my point
Do you think he shouldn't have friends just because he's a cop? That's pretty messed up.
Wait, I'm confused. I can't tell if you're being serious. If you are being serious, then that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that everyone should be held accountable for their actions. And of course their friends should be able to give them a ticket.
Cops being held accountable for their actions? Terrorist!
Five points on the licence and you get a milkshake free.
Funny because they literally punch a hole in your license ala a Baskin Robbins card after your license is suspended.
Depends on the state. Most you do get points for this shit. In most states that many tickets would have revoked his license several times over.
But you just know this dude would still drive without a license.
Should only be allowed to drive a three cylinder engine.
I wish speed limiters were automated. Would be pretty easy to do with GPS being in every vehicle now.
Fuck that, why would you WANT the gov in your car?
If you want people to interact with you, you're going to have to learn to discuss things like a civilized human being.
You know you're in a community with "fuck" right there in the name, right?
If there's any toxic behavior going on here, it's your tone-policing. This is your warning.
DoN't CuSs It'S nOt CivIWiSeD
That's an uncivilized response. Don't take choice of vocabulary as sign of civilization.
What’s uncivilized about the way he answered?
Good question.
His rude and aggressive tone, for one. Totally unnecessary.
And his apparent ignorance of the fact that there are other solutions for another.
I think you’re just adding tone where there isn’t any. His reply doesn’t seem aggressive. He’s just expressing shock and dismay that someone would invite more government tracking into their vehicle willingly.
But he said the F word. On the internet.
I. Am. Shocked.
If you want to interact with people online, you’re going to not have to act like a child when they say the word fuck.
It wasn’t even said with any anger towards you, the fact that you could be offended by that is mind boggling.
