The Torah obligates every driver and every pedestrian to follow traffic laws. Even if drivers break traffic laws without hurting anyone, they still sin by endangering themselves and others. Even if drivers are so skilled that they do not actually endanger people by speeding, they have still sinned. Because by breaking the traffic laws, they are contributing to the normalization of reckless driving, which certainly causes injuries and deaths. Parents of young adults with driver’s licenses must warn them to drive carefully so as to avoid injuring or killing others. If anyone sees a friend driving recklessly, it is a mitzva to point out the danger.
