Definitely. In my European country you can apply for transport for your bloodwork or any examination if you have a long term sickness like cancer. I'm happy to pay social security taxes to allow for that

America is all about not being weak! - the country who happily supports men like this being forced to drive at the detriment of everybody instead of having universal healthcare

Where do you get that he was "forced to drive?" He drives. Has probably been driving for 80 years. His son needed to go to his appointment. He drove him.

People of all ages get traffic tickets.
