    Good drivers subsidize the assholes

    The same as healthy people subsidize the sick; or childless people subsidize schools anyway?

      I’m okay subsiding the schools though! I don’t want to be surrounded by more idiots then I already am.

      In my country, free schools are not an expense, we profit on it.

      Whatever money we spend on an education, will on average come back twice in the form of increased income tax. Plus of course the other values of living in a well educated society.

      So taking a free education is not society subsidizing you, you are doing society a favor.
