I'd like to see all drivers tested and graded for driving competency. Just because you can purchase a car and turn a key doesn't mean you aren't a vehicular homicide waiting to happen. Next, require all drivers to display their current driver "grade" on their car like a license plate.
Depending on your driver grade you are allowed to do different things in a vehicle:
Lowest Grade
- can't drive on the highway (probably eliminating most fatal highway accidents)
- can't drive vehicles over a certain weight (hopefully ruling out most minivans and SUVs)
- can't drive high-performance vehicles (hopefully eliminating a lot of machismo stupidity)
- can't drive above 65 mph
- can't ride motorcycles on public roads (reducing harley and sportbike sales by about a million percent)
Middle Grade
- can't enter the fast lane of a highway
- can't drive above 75 mph
Highest Grade
- can do pretty much whatever the fuck they want
