    You are not a victim if you “absentmindedly speed”, same as you are not a victim if you “absentmindedly drift into opposing traffic” or “absentmindedly drive up the highway in the wrong direction”.

    Driving absentmindedly means you are not paying attention while operating a multi-ton vehicle which moves with a murderous amount of speed. That is not normal and no, you are not a victim for doing so, no matter how sad and poor you feel about the fact that you are not fit to drive.

    Stop feeling like a victim from driving dangerously. If you are not capable to focus on operating your vehicle you are not fit to drive. You are a danger to yourself and others and you should not drive.

    And no, not being in control of the speed of your vehicle is not normal and it is not ok.

    And you will not get pitty points if the “evil system” punishes you poor little bunny for endangering others because watching your speed is too much to handle for you.

    There’s nothing immoral about you being incapable of driving. There’s something incredibly immoral about you choosing to get behind the wheel regardless.

      Be a simple minded fool and only think on the surface level. Whatever. I’m done trying to talk to someone who clearly doesn’t want to think about what is being said.

        There is nothing deep about the fact that people who are too incompetent to drive safely should not be driving.

          Keep telling yourself that. You can’t even argue against what I’m actually talking about so you just keep hammering on about a simple minded, subjective moralist position.

          Nothing about my argument has anything to do with an individual’s competency at driving safely.

            Your argument is that you think that everyone is as incompetent as you are and that it’s entirely impossible to be in control of your car.

            Stop. Driving. You. Mennace.
