i'm sure to get flamed for this, but consider this analogy to cigarttes: I personally don't think that cigarettes, cars (or pot, or probably even crack ) should be banned but I think, like with cigarettes, some sort of tax to be redistributed to victims of car wrecks, or perhaps a ban on the sort of advertising that convinces everyone that these violently styled, high powered, (and in the case of SUVs, unstable due to the cross-purpose of their everyday use and their ostensible use, off road) vehicles are necessary for our mating rituals, personal identity, and the myth of extra power being a boon to safety. Not to mention the very familiar environmental and social reasons that have convinced me that the automobile is not our best choice as our public transportation system. I point out that I was a car freak, and in fact a porsche / BMW mechanic for years, but have become disgusted with the car, and as I am still a gearhead, biodiesel is a good outlet.
