Should the government eliminate all traffic laws and rely on voluntary compliance?

This considers the idea of removing government-imposed traffic laws and relying instead on individual responsibility for road safety. Proponents argue that voluntary compliance respects individual freedom and personal responsibility. Opponents argue that without traffic laws, road safety would significantly decline and accidents would increase.

No, and who in their right mind is even proposing such a thing?

 @9NXFDC6  from Washington  answered…8mos8MO

No, that's an unfathomably stupid idea that will lead to countless deaths and millions in crash-related damages.

 @3H6X5RQ answered…7mos7MO

No. However, there needs to be a higher priority put on driver's education. That education should focus less on factors of speed, and more on safe distances and lane use. In most fatal accidents, the critical factor is often not the speed itself, but rather the failure to maintain a safe following distance for the speed at which one is traveling.

 @8RBQDDP  from Vermont  answered…9mos9MO

No, this is a ridiculous thing to say; rather there should be more traffic laws and better enforcement

 @9R86QKP from Minnesota  answered…7mos7MO

Should eliminate all victimless laws, such as seat belt and airbag requirements.

 @9R7L7TP from Florida  answered…7mos7MO

No, but remove speed traps and traffic cameras, and increase the speed limits on highways/freeways.

 @9QFNYQG from South Carolina  answered…7mos7MO

eliminate speed limits unless in towns, small cities and school zones. Hwy speeds and state road speeds shouldn't be limited to 55.

 @8VDSYLS  from Massachusetts  answered…7mos7MO

Not all traffic laws as some help such as stop signs and such, but I think speed limits are very outdated and cause more harm than good

Congress Calls Trump's Gaza Plan "Bizarre And Incoherent"

Trump proposed unprecedented U.S. control of Gaza Strip during a White House press conference with Netanyahu, suggesting "long-term ownership" that could last 10-15 years.The plan calls for nearly two million Palestinian residents to permanently relocate to neighboring countries, marking a dramatic shift from decades of U.S. policy.Congressional leaders from both parties expressed skepticism, with even Trump ally Lindsey Graham calling the proposal "problematic."Middle East experts, including former Palestinian Authority advisor Khaled Elgindy, criticized the plan as "bizarre and incoherent."White House officials argue mass relocation is the only viable option and seek to convince Egypt and Jordan to accept displaced Palestinians.The administration estimates Gaza reconstruction would take 10-15 years, far longer than the 3-5 years outlined in cease-fire agreements.The proposal lacks clear details on how to handle Palestinian resistance to relocation or potential U.S. military deployment.Saudi Arabia immediately rejected the plan, stating it wouldn't normalize ties with Israel without a clear path to Palestinian statehood.Trump expressed uncertainty about the current cease-fire's durability while presenting his proposal.The plan faces significant implementation challenges and could complicate other regional objectives, including Israel-Saudi normalization efforts.

Jon Stewart Begs Democrats To ‘Please Stop Trotting Out Chuck Schumer!'
