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.

Yes, and people shouldn't be penalized for accidentally killing bikers, pedestrians, etc, who knowingly disobey traffic laws, as long as it can be proven that the killing was accidental.
@9NXW9RJ 11hrs11H
No, traffic laws are necessary. Simplify the traffic laws for drivers to understand the law better.
@9NXFDC6Constitution 2 days2D
No, that's an unfathomably stupid idea that will lead to countless deaths and millions in crash-related damages.
@9KHJQKJ 2 days2D
No, but enforcement should be reactionary (if you're in an accident because of speeding/distracted driving/failure to yield there is increased liability)
@9NV3CVZ3 days3D
No, this will increase car accidents and insight anarchy.
@9NSQZWY 3 days3D
No, Just eliminate speed limits on the interstate system(not surface streets.) and Allow bans on Bicycles(have to comply with same laws as cars) on roads that it would be a hazard.
@9NRT9GGIndependent4 days4D
No, this will increase the rates of traffic accidents and possibly insight anarchy.
@9NR97Z5Libertarian4 days4D
Yes, but drivers should still be cited for severe levels of unsafe driving.
@9NQ7VY25 days5D
No, many traffic laws are stupid, but there needs to be some order on the roads
@9NPXKX85 days5D
No, this will increase the rate of accidents, and possibly insight anarchy.
@9NMN89T6 days6D
No, this would lead to a significant increase in vehicular casualties.
@9NML9K66 days6D
No, and who in their right mind is even proposing such a thing?
@9NMCQC67 days7D
Yes, but improve access and quality of driver education.
@9NH8HFL1wk1W
No, but should ease up on hyper-technical violations like driving in the left lane when not blocking traffic.
@9N9L4W92wks2W
As Gary Johnson would put it, "I'd like to see some competency on the road." Spend more on keeping people safe from harmful people rather than checking their speed and other more minor violations.
@9N5XMF72wks2W
No, the government should adopt Autobahn-style policies that remove speed limits on low traffic highways, have stricter licensing, and require stopping to aid motorists involved in accidents
@9N37TT92wks2W
No, but loosening of certain restrictions to be based on conditions of the road should be implemented.
@9MYP55X2wks2W
Voluntary compliance sounds dumb to me. We easily manipulate each other for whatever egotistical greed—so why would we trust each other for individual responsibility?
@nathanrose12wks2W
No, but the an autobahn in America that you must take tests on every year stuff like left passing and right Lane is slow traffic get out of the left lane somebody's faster and if you don't fines
@9MQ3BJM3wks3W
This is a stupid question as most traffic laws are primarily enforced via voluntary compliance and the tort system.
@9MQ2X4M3wks3W
No, and we should focus on comprehensive training and providing education to reduce traffic incidents on the road.
@9MM5PH43wks3W
Regardless, we should provide more training and education to reduce the number of traffic incidents on the road.
@Dry550Independent 3wks3W
No, without traffic laws in place, chaos would ensue on the roads, the bad would outweigh the good, people don’t like to be responsible when they don’t have to be
No, this is a ridiculous thing to say; rather there should be more traffic laws and better enforcement
@99G5GNZIndependent2wks2W
Seriously, why is this even a question? I know that the world has no shortage of idiots, but how many people are there who think there shouldn't be any traffic laws?
@9MLJ772 3wks3W
Elimination of speed limits on interstates and major highways only. Spend more on keeping people safe from harmful people rather than checking their speed and other more minor violations. Increased and sharp response to reckless driving reports.
