Remind me why we allow teenagers to drive 3-ton vehicles again?
"Gotta get them teens to work. And no public transit options please, they make my money pile smaller."
-CEO's everywhere
Remind the rest of us why anycunt needs a 3 ton personal vehicle again?
So we have a large reoccurring expense that forces us to always have a job and stay productive in a modern society where this really isn't necessary?
I'll stick with my 1.2l, 50mpg shitbox thanks
At risk of angering the vast majority of the fuck cars community, it's generally because I live 30 minutes from my job by highway, and can't afford to live within walking distance. And they won't let us telework. I really really want to actually live close enough to bike.
Why do we allow most people to drive 3 ton vehicles
Because the vast majority of them don't use the 3ton vehicle to commit murder.
You do know that adults use vehicles as murder weapons also, yeah?
I am sure they don't.
So they can be exploited for cheep labor.
tbp the camry she drove was closer to 1.5 tons
When I think back to how immature and reckless I was as a teenager I can't believe I was legally allowed to drive and considered a full grown adult at the age of 18.
Remind me why we allow banks to control our economy again?
Awesome. Judge all teenagers because of a deranged one.
What's your stance on 27 year olds with driver's licenses?
Yeah buddy i'm going to judge all drivers, because i kinda sorta vaguely don't want me or others to die!
Are you against gun control too?
So they can be exploited for cheap labor.
You're not wrong. Being able to drive by 16 so that you can start working is the capitalist way.
Bcs we lack the infrastructure for them not to require a car & obviously want car companies, roadworks, and petrol industries to continue having huge profits.
Freedums!
A Camry weighs half of that, and regardless, she could have done this in any vehicle
Lol which vehicles weigh 3 tons. Aside from EVs. You mean 3 tons as in 6600 lbs right?
