    Just make it illegal to have unsafe vehicles. Do a buyback for the existing ones.

    Billions for war but anything actually useful is too expensive. This is the bad place.

        Despite continued incremental improvements to road infrastructure, pedestrian deaths are spiking, and it’s all because of a narrow new class of vehicles.

        I’d defer to someone with more expertise, but I’d guess a lot of SUVs and trucks are going to be disqualified.

        While I’m waving this low grade magic wand, maybe require a special license for SUVs or something.

            I believe it. But adding that barrier would mean some bad drivers wouldn’t bother, and they’d get a smaller, safer, car instead.
