Ah but I did reply, saying (ands providing a reference) that 60-some
percent of auto deaths were due to drunk driving and/or speeding and
asked him to supply the practical societal benefit for that.
 
He hasn't responded.

And society certainly does _try_ to curtail drunk driving and speeding.
But gun worshipers rail against any attempt to restrict use of guns.

Certainly tries? Frankie's got to be joking if "certainly trying"
results in 32% of the total vehicle traffic fatalities in 2022.

In Singapore, for example:
If you are convicted of drink-driving, you are liable to a fine of
between $2,000 and $10,000 and/or up to 1 year’s jail for a first-time
offence. Repeat offenders face fines of between $5,000 and $20,000 and
up to 2 years’ jail.
Nature and degree of actual/potential harm resulting from the offence
In cases where no personal or property harm has occurred, the
following sentencing  is applied for first-time offenders:
(mg per 100ml of breath)
Range of fines Range of disqualification
36-54 $2,000 – $4,000 24 – 30 months
55-69 $4,000 – $6,000 30 – 36 months
70-89 $6,000 – $8,000 36 – 48 months
More than 90 $8,000 – $10,000 48 – 60 months (or longer)
 Failing to provide a specimen of breath or blood under section 70(4)

Reckless Driving Singapore Punishment
Punishments for Causing Death of Another
If the offender causes the death of another person while driving a
motor vehicle, the offender will face the following penalties if
convicted:
1) For first time offenders – imprisonment for a period between 2 to 8
years.
2) For repeat offenders – imprisonment for a period between 4 to 15
years.

And.. they are talking about increasing the penalties.
