New law in Texas will make drunk drivers who murdered parent or guardian to pay child support until the child is 18 years old.

I don’t disagree with drivers paying damages, but I see laws like this as whack-a-mole with symptoms of the problem of car dependency. Bars and restaurants serving alcohol with car dependent design is just a bad idea. No amount of laws is going to prevent drunk drivers from killing people as long as they remain the only way to get to or from places people consume alcohol.

Bike infrastructure needs physical separation. Bollards separating lanes at minimum. The average Joe would be financially WAY better off just renting trucks when they need one.

Better to not need to share the road at all and just have walkable citys with smaller road with squigles in the more urban places to prevent speeding
Liquor licenses should not be granted to establishments without public transit during business hours.
The American idea of DRIVING TO THE BAR, many of which have parking lots, is completely an utterly unacceptable.
@knoland @Sensitivezombie @neanderthal That is an interesting idea, but also very urban-centric. For most of my life I lived in places that had no public transit. So even if I went to a bar that had transit, it wouldn’t have gotten me home.
Rural places can have public transit. Many rural communities in other countries are served by busses.
