If you drove without a driver’s license for a decade (I know someone who did, longer than that)... and the police stopped you for a headlight out and asked for your license.. would the police say it’s okay... ‘you’ve driven that long without a license, you know how to drive, you probably have a family to drive to and from, and you have a job to get to every day... just stay safe out there’...
no... don’t think so.
Excellent analogy.
