So I should sit in my driveway idling the motor until I run out of gas? Doesn't sound very productive.

What about those "retards" who don't go "in and out of traffic" - should they lose their licences too?

Unsafe as defined, how? Weather conditions? Traffic density? Driver capability?

At night, in a driving snowstorm over icy roads, does a 75-year-old woman with macular degeneration drive at the speed indicated by a sign by the side of the road?

Except for the small detail that one is normal and safe, and the other is deadly and psychopathic.

Really? I see people doing it all the time. I wonder if they know!

The off chance of getting a citation? Sure - it's part of the deal. It would be better if law-makers didn't have to put a tax on travelling at a reasonable rate, but one cannot avoid rest nor taxes.
