I have no respect for people whose only motivation for refraining from drunk driving is because of the law (lemmy.ca)

I mean, I'm glad they refrain from drunk driving, but they're doing right for the wrong reasons.

Your motivation for not drunk driving should be that you don't want to risk harming or killing innocent people. Does that not enter your head?

If you say you won't drive drunk because there are cops everywhere, you're missing the point. You're saying it would be totally fine to risk innocent lives if not for the risk of getting caught.

I don't give a crap, honestly. Follow the rules for whatever reason. That's why laws are laws, so people don't need to agree on whether something is a good idea or not, they just... have to do it and at least wait a few years to whine about how it's a bad idea.

I don't need to respect people doing dangerous shit in my vicinity. Not getting turned into people pulp by a ton of hurling metal isn't a morality test for me to pick my friends or find people to admire. It's a legal requirement so that me and... you know, children, get to remain attached to all our limbs for as long as possible.
