Legal structures and especially state or state sponsored entities in Canada work much differently than in the US. The ICBC has a literal state sponsored monopoly over car insurance, titling a vehicle and driver licensing, whereas in the US no state handles car insurance, while titling a vehicle and driver licensing are not necessarily the same state organizations.

I was just wondering about these (in the US) the other day.

I see them every year on NYE when I'm in LA and even some random weekends in Oakland

You can't see the underlying link? It's visible on old.reddit.com: https://www.richmond-news.com/highlights/church-of-the-flyin... .

Nope, on new reddit the link isn't clickable. I actually didn't know this was a feature of old.reddit, TIL!

Gotta love the overzealous powermods of Reddit...

making the internet a more diverse and inclusive place; by deleting content? ok

The US has CBP checks on roads, doesn’t it?

Canada wide since DUIs are criminal code (ie: federal) offences.

"Wild" meaning, the police can still impound your car at their discretion if you blow below not just the legal limit of 0.08, but below the warning limit of 0.05, or even 0!

No shortage of drugs that can make someone a terrible driver.

Many drivers are worse alcohol-free than a legally drunk good driver.

Focussing on one cause of bad driving (lots of alcohol) is a weak approach to road safety.

Or a mobile device. Any time of day, I would estimate at least 50% of drivers are glancing down and using phones while driving. Even cops.

Yes, but very limited. They are only allowed to ask "are you a US citizen", and walk a dog around the car. I've never had one take more than 60 seconds in either AZ or CA.
