Even pedestrians are expected to obey certain traffic laws- and all

you have to do is walk to qualify as a pedestrian. Please do not

advocate for more licensing - you are asking for big problems. We are

all accountable for laws that we have not been tested for or licensed

for; welcome to civilization.

It was to ask how it is that they can hold you accountable to laws

of operating a vehicle when you have not taken a test or carry a

license for it?

You can't just get into a car and start driving. Why can you on a

bike, scooter, skateboard, farm tractor, etc...

Does anybody know how this is?
