This considers the idea of removing government-imposed traffic laws and relying instead on individual responsibility for road safety. Proponents argue that voluntary compliance respects individual freedom and personal responsibility. Opponents argue that without traffic laws, road safety would significantly decline and accidents would increase.

No, this is a ridiculous thing to say; rather there should be more traffic laws and better enforcement
@9NH8HFL4 days4D
No, but should ease up on hyper-technical violations like driving in the left lane when not blocking traffic.
@9N9L4W91wk1W
As Gary Johnson would put it, "I'd like to see some competency on the road." Spend more on keeping people safe from harmful people rather than checking their speed and other more minor violations.
@9N5XMF71wk1W
No, the government should adopt Autobahn-style policies that remove speed limits on low traffic highways, have stricter licensing, and require stopping to aid motorists involved in accidents
@9N37TT92wks2W
No, but loosening of certain restrictions to be based on conditions of the road should be implemented.
@9MYP55X2wks2W
Voluntary compliance sounds dumb to me. We easily manipulate each other for whatever egotistical greed—so why would we trust each other for individual responsibility?
