Reply to comment by [deleted] in Traffic deaths in NYC still 14% higher than pre-pandemic levels, latest data shows by ER301

It's not a disregard for traffic rules, it's a financial obligation to get everywhere as quickly as possible to make a living wage.

Because they have no choice, it's not their fault it's the fault of the companies.

They absolutely have a choice are you insane? My job asked that I commit crimes is not a defense.

They barely make a living wage and you want them to cut that down even more?

Yes? I don[t want them doing dangerous acts that could result in felony's where others could loose life and limb. I don't think that's controversial.

No they need to find another job and eventually the economy would catch up. You can't absolve people of personal responsibility for engaging in felonies that result in serious injury or death.

Because you're trying to moralize it as they are some rule breakers that need to be brought in to justice. They are just living their life as demanded by their job.
