Is Every Speed Limit Too Low?

Only those who are qualified to operate a vehicle should be allowed to do so. Where is the controversy in that statement?

The way you seem to put it is that only a small portion (sounds like less than 25%) should be allowed to drive.

How is the rest of the population supposed to get around?

Ever heard of public transports?

I have as my girlfriend and I have lived for over a year without a car. We walk/lyft/occasionally use the Seattle lite rail to get to 90% of the places we want to go.

However, despite the amazing hiking/backpacking places we can go here, we have only done that a few times (relying on other people driving).

Should we always rely on other people to go to non-public transportation routes (This has also hampered us from doing lots of other things hence why we got a zipcar membership recently)?
