      You are not a victim if you “absentmindedly speed”, same as you are not a victim if you “absentmindedly drift into opposing traffic” or “absentmindedly drive up the highway in the wrong direction”.

      Driving absentmindedly means you are not paying attention while operating a multi-ton vehicle which moves with a murderous amount of speed. That is not normal and no, you are not a victim for doing so, no matter how sad and poor you feel about the fact that you are not fit to drive.

      Stop feeling like a victim from driving dangerously. If you are not capable to focus on operating your vehicle you are not fit to drive. You are a danger to yourself and others and you should not drive.

      And no, not being in control of the speed of your vehicle is not normal and it is not ok.

      And you will not get pitty points if the “evil system” punishes you poor little bunny for endangering others because watching your speed is too much to handle for you.

      There’s nothing immoral about you being incapable of driving. There’s something incredibly immoral about you choosing to get behind the wheel regardless.
