People travelling less than five miles, unless they are delivering items or need to carry a substantial amount of tools/items, ought to be using a bicycle, e-bike or public transport.
People should have to regularly have their driving licence skills tested, say at least every five years, to ensure they are still fit to drive safely.
Rather than relying on drivers to self-regulate their maximum speed according to speed signs and the conditions, rather than the government enjoying the speed ticket fines generating cash, we should be using modern technology that automatically limits the maximum speed a vehicle can travel (using sensors on lampposts for example, with receivers on every single vehicle, possibly with the exception of emergency services).
