Another way to reduce accidents is to allow for more people to work from home if they are able to do their job at home. More people working at home means more people off of the roads. Those businesses will also save money on rental space and utility costs.

We need car-free walkable-bikeable cities that are safer and lower stress for everyone. Liveable cities, that are built for people, instead of cars, encourage greater community involvement along with an active-healthy lifestyle - versus noisy & polluted car-dependent cities.

Make it so that drivers have to retest every 5 years. They would be reminded how to drive and what the rules/laws of the roads are. Charge $100.00 (which pretty much anyone could afford every 5 years) so that there is $ for the retesting. Vehicular communications (people not using or misusing their turn signals is huge) is really bad. And most people "in their cars" aren't actually driving 1st, they are 'visiting' or parenting or entertaining themselves. We have to get back to "driving" being the #1 job of a person behind the wheel.
