    Every time someone steps behind the wheel of the car, the (apparent) chances of them causing a death is so many times higher than writing a name in a Death Note that the latter is completely negligible.

        Would it be immoral to drive a car without utility? Maybe so, but only a little immoral, surely. You don’t deserve to go to jail for taking a joyride around the block.

        I can think of reasons to write a name in a Death Note, like trying to prove to someone that it doesn’t work.

          A joyride has its own value. If there were literally no utility – you’re driving a car for no reason, not even to have fun – then yeah it’s immoral, as it just puts people in danger and pollutes the planet.

          As for uses for an impotent death note, fair enough, you’re right.
