    For the US at least (where I live):

    • Re-appropriating anything from corporations… especially internet piracy. I would download a car if I could.
    • Feeding homeless people (Its illegal / heavily restricted in most US cities, look up food not bombs)

    Crossing a red light as a pedestrian can get you a fine in Germany and I think that makes 0 sense.

    I understand it a little bit for bikes and totally understand it for massive steel structures like cars though.

    Many things.

    • consentual poly-gamy/-gyny
    • not wearing seat belts or helmets while driving
    • not having vehicle insurance
    • having alternate legal tender in personal business

      If you don’t wear seatbelts you can hurt other people in the car.

      If you don’t have vehicle insurance and you injur someone they won’t have any payout on top of being injured.

        Good point. But then, seatbelts mustn’t be compulsory for people driving alone.

        If you don’t have vehicle insurance and you injur someone they won’t have any payout on top of being injured.

        They still have some solid options:

        1. Asking me/my estate to pay. Suing me to bankrupcy in case I fail/contest.
        2. Being insured themself for accidents.

        In money terms, the business of insuring cars is mostly about repairs of cars.

          Not using a seatbelt will still increase the chance that you are injured. This will put a burden on society.

          Asking your estate to pay is useless if you have no money, insurance claims can reach the millions which most people can not afford. Pedestrians and cyclists aren’t and should not need to be insured.

            As long as I am not property of society, this does not cause a moral problem.

            If I have no money, I can’t get insurance or car either. Also, this is s pragmatic issue, not a moral one.

          If you get thrown out of the vehicle, your body can still knock out some pedestrians. Your blood on the road would be hard to clean up.

          And people are dumb. Better enforce something if it’s serious, like masks.
