Hello Chris,

If roads were
private, I am sure that most road owners would require much more stringent
proof of competence to operate on their roads than the state requires.

Why should they? They will probably make sure that whoever drives on them
will be held liable for what he does to the road. But why should the road
company care for other drivers?

This is an example of the general case assertion "regulations do not make
you safer than a free market system, they make you less safe than a free
market system"

Unless companies are shielded from their liabilities, or go bancrupt before
they have paid them all. And I firmly believe that, in a free market system,
companies will find ways to do one or the other ...

Greetings

Horst
