There are LED bars for mounting in your rear windows to display text to those behind you

Maybe redo the driving test like... At least every 20 years? There are people on the roads who got their licenses when their town didn't even had traffic lights. People who never saw a roundabout in their first 20 years of driving.

Its nice that we restrict young people by making them take more and more driving lessons and paying more for tiered licences, like we do in Europe for motorcycles and trucks.

But maybe also take a look at the 70+ year old grandpa who had two strokes and one heart attack, has two pairs of of glasses but his license says that he's perfectly fit.

Sometimes you see those videos from a dash cam of a truck that hits a bridge, obviously the truck driver was been being inattentive but often so was the recording cars driver. All I can ever think is, "why were you so close behind, it was blindingly obvious that was about to happen", yet to them apparently it wasn't, and now they've got bits of truck roof in their windscreen.

There was an astounding number of people who really cannot drive, and yet they think they're driving safely. They just haven't gotten a crash yet.

How about less reliance on cars in the first place?

Americans seem to think of buses as some sort of commie plot.

Clearly it's your fault for both breaking and going around a corner at the same time. Who does that?

Can I have indicators that are in the same place on all cars and not buried in the headlight? That'd be cool.

I retract my statement, this looks perfectly safe and effective.

This would seem quite risky to use on US roads. I mean probably elsewhere too, but at least they don't pack the same hardware.

In Finland we have this thing called "huoli-ilmoitus" Super useful when you meet elders driving 70-80km/h in 100km/h area.

Are you by chance from the US? Because other countries have sensible zoning laws and public transit, making cars for families not a necessity but a luxury. Where I live, nobody needs a car. Shopping is done by cargo bike or hand cart, family trips are taken by train or metro.

If you live in a stupid country tho people might depend on cars.

I have to contend with 70-80 year olds doing 30km in an 80 while swerving across the midline because they saw a bird across the street.

You can pass multiple driving tests, and still be an idiot driver. So many people drive HUA, (Head Up Ass), while thinking they are the best driver on the road that it isn't even funny.

Remember Kiddies, driving should never be viewed as "relaxing" or "enjoyable." It's work, hard work and should be mentally taxing every minute you are on the road.

Define safe? If everyone drives safely enough that you are more likely to die of suicide than an automobile accident, is that safe enough?

Passing a test is very different from internalizing the lessons tested.

You would think killing off the stupid would improve the breed. But apparently the real world shows it does not. Besides, I ain't riding a motorbike at -40 Celsius or Fahrenheit or in 30cm/12" of fresh snow or in a thunderstorm.

Buses, as implemented in the US, are vehicles of humiliation and mental torture. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZkouut-9RQ

How to waste an entire day? Take a bus trip somewhere that you could drive in a private car in 20 minutes.

Ah but I don't care about my life

Good luck transporting a couch in a car

I was having a very hard time seeing any possible benefit of a front brake light, since nobody accident prone ever looks in their mirrors.

I suppose in today's world of automatic transmissions that move the car forward whenever the brakes are released, they might serve some purpose at a four-way stop adding information about immediate intent of the other parties, but even there... that's more of a Darwinian situation where people who get into crashes at four way stops are sorting themselves out from the rest of reasonably competent drivers. If they're going fast enough for injuries at a four way stop, they deserve what they get. If they get a minor fender bender - that's a lesson to read the other traffic better next time.

Reading all such things I'm starting to think "what if I can drive?" I've always thought I can't, but since everyone around who thinks they can drive like suicide bombers, maybe I should find those driving lessons.
