About 42K people get killed in motor vehicle accidents per year.

Put restrictions on speedometers at 75 MPH.

Shut down all TV programing one night per month for 1/2 hour on driver training.

All smart phones stream driver training.

No driving on the road during this 1/2 hr. No driving in snow or heavy rain & all vehicles automatically slow down to 35MPH in rain & wind storms.

All motor vehicles have sensors for tail gating. Must have 30 ft distance.

Your basic concept might be worth considering. Your specifics, not so much.

In CA, back in the 1980's, local TV channel stopped all programming for 1hr. Showed 1 hour of life in a prison with all the vulgar talk.

This was startling. Showing how violent people lived. Many young people want food, commit a crime, get arrested.

Drive while under influence of alcohol or drugs.

LETS put it to a national vote.
Get rid of cars or get rid of guns!!!
You guns fools will not walk a day in your lives!
Face it, cars are 100 times more important than guns in this country. HELL, a cellphone is WAY more indispensable than any gun!!!! LoL
You want to hear old farts stutter, croak and whine..., ban guns.
You want to start the next revolution, ban the car!!!! LoL

There must be something in the Constitution that gives the right to drive like an idiot.

Okay, so this is pretty stupid. Just look at history with cars. When motor vehicle deaths were epidemic, we instituted safety programs, engineering solutions. Made the cars better, put in head restraints, three-point seatbelts, crumple zones, and safety glass.
We re=engineered our roads to reduce the severity of accidents.
We lowered the legal alcohol content in a drivers blood to .08.
We succeeded in reducing motor vehicle deaths.
But guns. No there isn't anything we can do to keep our children from being killed in school, theaters and concerts. That's just too hard.

You are absolutely right!! And let 42,000 people die every year. That was the whole point of PinOakEO's post. And you unwittingly bought right into it.
