Since we're using bad driving analogies, here's one for you. The speed limits in NYC, specifically in Brooklyn, make no sense. In fact, scientifically, they are counter-intuitive. So because the leadership got it wrong, and people go over 25 MPH all the time, all the rules should go out the window and drunk driving becomes ok? Don't worry, we can just blame it on the inept politicians. Why blame the people for over-reacting in extreme ways that defy logic? It's human nature, as old as Adam and Chava!
For my health I shouldn't bother, but....
1) You can't call an analogy moronic when someone else makes it, and then toss it out at me yourself. (unless I was the one making the analogy, and I wasn't)
2) Even your flawed analogy is flawed. You're leaping from unreasonable speed limits to drunk driving?
3) There absolutely is plenty of evidence that more relaxed speeding limits improves overall driving quality and reduces accidents, but that's besides the point and I'm not getting into that argument.
4) I didn't say the behavior is justified or correct, I said it's inevitable under the current rules.
You and @S209 are either being deliberately obtuse or are so entrenched in the debate over the past months you aren't understanding what we're saying. I'm making the same point that Aygart and Formerly Ginger have made in this thread. We absolutely cannot have people behaving as they are right now. It's dangerous. But as long as the regulations don't allow for people to resume activities in a safe manner, there isn't a lick we can do about it.
Continued extreme lockdowns are making safe social distancing impossible.
