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.

Cars have uses other than killing or entertainment. Cars currently are regulated. The government can take your driver’s license away.
Weak excuses that put profits of car manufacturers over lives of children. Enough. We're a civilized society and can end this madness.
