If I had my way...
 
• Tiered drivers licences. Level 1 to 5; Wanna drive where the big dogs drive? Prove you belong.
•. Big tax on studded snow tires. Use the proceeds to fix the damage to the roads. No extra tax on modern winter tires using polymer and siping technology to grip in snow and ice.
• 2 stroke leafblowers and garden tools banned in neighborhoods.

Doesn't Canada have a tiered system? Or is that just: can't drive at night vs. can?

Sorry, too lazy to Google.

I agree with the tiered system, though hard to enforce. Someone could be on the freeway but is not licensed for freeway driving, what are we going to do? Have sensors all over? There goes privacy.

Ontario has a graduating licensing. It wasn't around when I got my license in 1975.

In Rarotonga all the guys wear them every day all year round. I think it's the law.

Proper driving test would help. The one in the US is a joke vs (say) the UK.

I'd turn lies and hate to love and truth. Health would replace disease. Compassion and kindness would be common.

And every day would be Friday.

And HUGE WARNING LABELS on musicals. Those damn things are dangerous.

And beets. They need warning labels as well.

Worldwide standardization of:
  • Keyboards
  • Which side of the road to drive on.
  • Steering collumn stalks - Wipers / Lights etc.
  • Women's bra clips.

I quit wearing white shirts to church years ago..I'm sweaters in the winter, and Hawaiian shirts over 50°!
Suits and ties suk!

Folks would get tickets for camping left lane and passenge right. Tickets for not parking between the lines, special fees and testing with vehicle inspections for hi speed travel lanes.

No more uphill and flatland trucker races under three lanes.

HUGE.... MAGNIFICENT... BIG tickets for stacking traffic on mountain and canyon roads..

How about some age/training/licensing requirements for E-bikes? We've basically unleashed 10-year old kids on the streets with motorcycles that can easily exceed the pace of traffic on many surface streets. No helmets, no knowledge of road rules, and not much common sense. Some riding with a 2nd or 3rd kid hanging on the back as well. And this'll become even more of a problem as E-bike sales continue to soar.

The school system would have a class from 1st grade through 12th grade on how to actively/proactively be kind to people.

One safety and crash standard for everyone. All the cars go all all the places and the wait to import time is 25 minutes after production.

Ageed, reducing a system's bandwidth by 20% or more is no way to reduce gasoline consumption.
