Yes, I completely agree (non-sarcastically).

People with cars are the most dangerous human-threat things to me and my family members and that’s why I don’t own a car, don’t drive a car and live a lifestyle in which I very rarely have to get in one.

I wish countries would make the same option easy for everyone. For most people in North America, life is unlivable without a car, currently.

Only carefully trained and regulated professional transport or delivery drivers should be allowed to operate 1~3 ton killing machines. It’s insanity that 16-year-olds and 80-year-olds can with barely any oversight at all.

it sounds like you are exaggerating, but if you compare street design, a lot can be done. for example, the street outside my home has a sidewalk, a bike lane, and a row of bushes and trees before getting to car traffic. the distance from me to a moving car is more than 5 meters.

A few basic laws would drastically reduce the mortality rate: cap gas tanks to 5 gallons, cap max speed to 25 mph, require monthly psych evals at DMV, and weekly checkins with a local sheriff, and a hotline to report suspicious neighbors that look unstable and should rather take a bus. Ideally we would just ban these machines of destruction: when this country was founded, people used horses, so I see no reason why anyone should feel entitled to own a car.
