You can probably see a dangerous driving moron roughly every 10-15 blocks, and that includes outer boroughs as well. NYC is literally the only place in the US where people honk at you if you come to a complete stop on a stop sign lol. With the way these people are driving, even 10 mph is too much to handle, they should just remove gas pedals from their cars.
Ok. We have immigrants who are used to be driving donkeys coming across and given licenses, because now anyone can get one coming here illegally, no matter if they were a killer, rapists, molester, drug dealer and now those are driving amongst us, the rest of the good driving folk have to endure the pain of the new regulations.
Then you have morons who who cant cross the street normally because their entitled face is planted inside the phone and they think the planet belongs to them.

Technically the pedestrians do not have to follow the rules of the road, simply because they are not expected to even know them. Pedestrians include people without a license and kids. However, drivers are expected to know the rules of the road, since they have a license and passed a test for it. Just like a doctor carries a liability for treating a patient, not the patient themselves (they do not have a license to be a doctor), so is the driver carries the liability, since they are the ones licensed to drive. If you're driving such that you kill pedestrians on impact on residential NYC streets, perhaps it is indeed you who are at fault, since you are not following the rules.
What I am saying is, the drivers here in NYC simply do not follow the rules themselves, its not just pedestrians. If you can't handle driving at 25mph (and statistics show that indeed NYC drivers cannot), then do not be surprised if society will make it more strict. They will continue regulating it even more until people stop driving like wild animals.

It's now legal in CA to jaywalk. A whole new brand of lawyer has been born to fleece "normal". We give out DL's to illegals. May as well put them in boxes of cracker Jax.

Wokeness really is a mind virus.

Meanwhile hordes of fresh illegal aliens rule the streets driving without licenses, without license plates and without literacy. Hey woke persons, how about statistics on people killed by illegal aliens in NYC? Don't wanna go there? I thought not.

However, some comrades like comrade Hochul and comrade Adams are more equal than comrade peasants. They will be allowed to use cars.

Pardon me, but every legal immigrant and citizen has every right to be mad, no, livid, at the fact that millions of people are coming in, cutting the line illegally and thinking they are owed something. And we also have a right to be furious at people like you who defend the indefensible and promote this blatant violation of our laws.

I want a better life too. I want to be a billionaire. Am I allowed to go walk into to a Manhattan penthouse and say I live here because I want a better life? Where does the absurdity end?

At least you could probably go to traffic school if you wanted to......The last ticket I got was in NJ in the 2000s and I couldn't go to traffic school because I wasn't a resident of NJ, NY, nor CT.
