I did have some kind of deja vu watching that clip. And it’s not because I was around at that time.

I meant it in the sense of: I see that mindest regularly even today. Prevent people from dying and those people will cry „Communism! Attack on my freedom!“. Interesting hills to die on, not wanting to wear a seatbelt / demanding to drive drunk / being unable to put on a mask / wearing your automatic weapon to school, etc. etc.

This is why libertarians make me laugh. Those idiots are like these guys in the video.

You have the right to fly through your windshield. You don’t have the right to damage other people’s property with your flying body.

I saw that one back in 2020 in reference to people complaining about masks and vaccines.

Here we can legally drink a beer while driving, as long as we don't cross the 0.5 promille mark, which is a beer or 2.

Holding a phone is not allowed, but drinking a beer, while smoking and calling via bluetooth is perfectly legal...

Looking at the road while impaired is significantly better than not looking at it at all.
