    For the sake of conversation, let’s consider some other owned object. I’m grasping here but say you had your computer seized for anti government speech. (I know, not the same as endangering people with a car).

    It wouldn’t be right to lose a multi thousand dollar device simply because the government willed it. Certainly not without compensation.

      @GBU_28 skip any example that doesn’t routinely involve the single biggest cause of child death in the US. There is no reason for a person to be exceeding the speed limit by double. That’s just gambling with others life and limb.

      I think a multi-thousand dollar, income adjusted fine should be the minimum in that case.

        The point is I selected an example that had no relation to cars or driving, and no safety context.

        The point of the example was ownership, and dealings with the government.

        Critical thinking 101

        I made clear in earlier comments that I’m aware driving is a privilege and reckless driving is a serious crime
