Robert Novak is a jerk; kudos to the good citizens who prevented a hit-and-run. He also isn’t representative of drivers. There are 120 million drivers on the road in the U.S. If we were all unrepentant pedestrian-slayers and cyclist-killers — as many have accused Novak of being — the population of this country would be cut in half virtually overnight.
Car’s aren’t like cigarettes; you really can quit any time you want. The fact that 87% of Americans drive to work is evidence (if not proof) that driving a car is the best choice for the American labor force at this time. This is basic microeconomics.
Don’t get me wrong — we must work on developing better means of personal transportation to compete with the car, not lobbying for heavy-handed government intervention to force Americans into an nth best and drastically sub-optimal alternative.
This doesn’t mean, however, that all users of the road need better education and proper registration and licensing.
