Other fun fixes: tax by the weight of a car. Disallow individual purchases of vehicles where the dashboard is over 6 feet off the ground (yes, some people would make an LLC just to buy the giant car. It would stop a lot of it). Place a price cap on cars!
My favorite pie-in-the-sky-impossible-in-practice thing: force cars to be ugly as sin. Would help with the huge cars, but also has a nice side effect of getting rid of sports car drivers as well.
Comments like this make me think we should have a “speech tax”, online comment licensing requirements, and a real-name mandate.
My favorite “pie-in-the-sky-impossible-in-practice thing”: force anyone advocating for this kind of petty authoritarianism (my sardonic comment included) to wear a neon pink t-shirt in public, labeled, front and back, with “I tried to be a little dictator on the internet and all I got was this stupid t-shirt”
Yeah, clearly my comment about making all cars ugly is a serious policy proposal that I have any power to enact, instead of me just venting about driving skills and safety. Sports car driver isn't a protected class
Everyone can act like piloting a multi-ton machine through city centers is their god given right, but I like thinking about the alternate universe (and hell, the _actually existing universe_ in many places in the world) where people can feel safe, even if it means that city driving is a slog.
