Sorry to go off topic but tangentially our society as a whole
allows bad driving. We elect officials to represent our interests
and the laws we have in place and how proactively and rigorously
those laws are enforced also reflect on us. Lets face it,
Americans are still very lax when it comes to things like drunk
driving and as reporter on '60 Minutes' story said about it, if
you want to kill someone, use a car, and you will most likely get
away with it. <END OF RANT>

We need multi-tiered system of recertification , especially for
young drivers and older drivers.

We need video network as they have in Japan where violators of
speed limit, etc. are automatically caught and issued citation.
If people start getting hit in the pocket a certain % will start
driving more responsibly. But there will always be those reckless
self-absorbed individuals who flagrantly ignore the law.
