No, better driver education and improved testing for licensing would likely help.

Don't worry.  When AOC takes away airplane travel and bans cows, I'm sure she will ban SUVs as well.

SUVs for the general population are not necessary and waste resources. You don't need an SUV to get to the grocery store. If it has the potential to save 1,000s of lives why not?

How far do you want to go down that road though?  Imagine how many lives would be saved every year, and how much CO2 would be reduced, if we just banned all vehicles?

If we all work together we can get there, but lets start with SUVs since they are the most deadly.

I would like to ban all Dodge Rams and giant vanity redneck monster trucks. Also speeders, aggressive drivers, and people with their heads stuck into their cellphones... but we can't all get what we want.

A television is not necessary and when you add up all the televisions in the world they waste a lot of resources. You could also argue they cause deaths due to laziness and lack of exercise. Let's ban them while we're banning SUVs.

I hope your joking here. I guess with the green new deal high speed trains will take us anywhere we need to go and we can get rid of planes while we're at it.

Ban cell phones, drinking, radios, in car infotainment centers, what else causes distractions, ok billboards, advertising, neon etc etc .. ok anything left?

Very typical liberal mindset.  We know what is better for you.

 

You don't need an SUV to get to the grocery store, so we are only going to allow you an economy sedan.

If SUVs are outlawed only outlaws will have SUVs.

We could ride cows, or mooses (meese?), as long as they didn't fart.

Hot chicks in the passenger seat...

I thought the left was the pro choice party. I guess the only thing they are pro choice on is murdering your baby. They seem to want to micro manage every other aspect of our lives.

Suv s are hot right now. Highlanders and RAV 4s sell like hot cakes. I had an older lady the other night. Pushing mid 60s but still striking. She had that hippie mix of Stevie Nicks about her.

 

She had hoarses breed basset hounds , did photography,  and was a local journalist.  Oddly to both my and her husbands shock she chose a camry.

We have passed a law in Ga. Having your cell phone in your hand is agaisnt the law. I am in favor of it.

 

Apple Car play and the counterparts from android and google are the thing for the near future. 

 

The next big technology push is going to be cars that communicate with other cars and buildings
