That's how it is in Finland, I think. I read an article a few years ago about a millionaire that paid dearly after he got pulled over for speeding.
Oh that's interesting i didnt know they did that already. That's the only way i think this should be done.

As to the other comment about "letting there be no laws at all" that's an interesting thing to think about too because that's what they actually did in one state in the US about 2 or 3 years ago. They let the people destroy the entire town, and that was the major government that let that happen and one of them even said let the people air out their difficulties. They even attacked the local police station and they didnt do anything much about it. It was the craziest thing that ever happened i think and had shown just how askew government can go when they are also allowed to govern themselves.
They destroyed the grocery stores also and the busses would not run there anymore so many people had BIG problems getting food. One lady was crying on the news because she had no way to get groceries.
I think it was Minneapolis.

You'd think he would've designed a faster operating system.
Here is my take on these issues with these kinds of companies...
1. It has been my guess for a long time now that they hire kids right out of college with little experience.
2. They fire them when they start to make too much money, then hire new ones that know very little about the ideas behind why the previous bunch changed what they did.
3. They dont use their own product because they know the shortcomings very well.

There is a lot of evidence for #2 if you look at the operating system starting from Windows 3.1 (years ago). They flip flopped on many ideas. First they do it one way, then change to another way, then go back to the first way, then change it again to something else later. They forget why they did it one way and not the other way, several times.
They also seem to forget that they should actually do some things the same way and not change at all. For example, it makes no sense to make the upper title bar of a window the same color as the rest of the window so the user cant tell where exactly to drag the window from (Win 11 maybe Win 10 too), and not allow that to be changed even though the registry. They even messed up the context menu making it much harder to add personal items to it via the registry.

The conclusion is that they just dont seem to have too much common sense. They must make changes without realizing how stupid some stuff is. Maybe they dont even try some things they change, just do the build and ship it out. Hopefully in the coming 'updates' it will improve.

Maybe we should start a new thread, "It's too bad i am forced to be a passenger", ha ha. I have too much software written for Windows would take years to switch.

Luckily, I'm not forced to be a passenger.
