@mbonsma@mastodon.social if you make cars necessary you make it way harder for society to take cars away from people who misuse them too - making everyone unsafe

@tobypinder@mastodon.social such a good point - we view license suspension as a cruel punishment only because the other options are terrible, and it means people are allowed to drive who really really shouldn't.

@tobypinder@mastodon.social @mbonsma@mastodon.social I suspect my dad probably shouldn't drive anymore. But both of the grocery stores that used to be a short walk from his house have closed, and the city recently moved the bus route that used to run in front of his house. He lives very centrally, and yet if he wants to eat he pretty much has to drive.
