"You can argue that the more you drive, the safer you drive, as well. THe more experience you have driving, the more inbuilt habit/reaction you have as body memory" I used to think something similar, but the truth is that the problem with professional driving isn't one of experience, but things like driver fatigue [1]. All things being equal in driving skill, the "normal" driver generally drives safer than the professional. [1]https://www.transportation.gov/fastlane/why-we-care-about-tr... |

Laws will not weed out irresponsible people.
The key points here arent that there is a potential for danger. The point is that the extra laws (which just so happen to come with a price and generate revenue for the state) don't prevent those problems.
They could pass a law requiring that drivers drive less than 40 hours a week. Does that really fix anything? Is there any way to determine that the driver who drove 10 hours this week didnt do so after staying awake for 3 days straight?
