      Do you live in Michigan where this guy lives

      No.

      or do you live somewhere with sidewalks and some level of public transit?

      Fuck no.

      Who asked for your judgement? Do you know why his license was suspended?

      No, but the purpose of licensing and suspensions is to ensure safety on the road; “It was okay that he was driving on a suspended license because living in the US without driving is hard” completely ignores the point of licenses to begin with. If you’re a proponent of no licensing, then at least you’re consistent - if you aren’t, then this was still quite clearly a fucking stupid move on this guy’s part.

      I had mine suspended once because I dared to buy car insurance in a different state than the car was registered. Does that make me an unsafe driver just because I didn’t know you had to register the cars before transferring insurance?

      Yes, actually, since insurance is part of safety on the road, considering you’re driving a multi-thousand dollar (at minimum) piece of machinery with the speed and weight necessary to crush a human being like a bug if your attention is distracted at the wrong time, even if through no fault of your own. Most states mandate that your insurance, well, cover the car you’re driving in order to be allowed on the road.

      While true it’s completely irrelevant to the question you’re answering.

      Oh, in that case, I suppose the question I answered is also irrelevant to the original comment I fucking made, which was about not livestreaming breaking the law to your court appointment.

      Weak-ass comment.

      1. The question referred to the US as a whole. The specific state of Michigan was not a condition of the inquiry.

      2. Do you know why his license was suspended? Surely, your situation was annoying and probably unnecessary. This does not mean that your situation applies to most license suspensions. On the contrary, most license suspensions are a result of reckless driving or other offenses.

      3. People are allowed to insert additional irrelevant remarks as they please. This is a public online forum, not an institution or formal establishment. In the same way, I can tell you to get over yourself. Who asked for your judgement? Do you know exactly what the original commenter was looking for in a response?

      Stfu :)
