Well we got too many people on the roads.  What we should do is make a
drivers license tougher to get, w/mandatory retesting every 5 years.  Points
should be higher.  The goal of DMVs should be to winnow out drivers, not
give out licenses.  This would force more people to use public transport and
force businesses to stop moving further and further away from the cities.
