This might be completely stupid but my friends and I were talking over...well, what ended up as too many beers so this might not make sense but...I can't think of the reasons why it doesn't so here goes.

Too many cars, not enough people taking transit, too many shitty drivers, gas prices too high due to carbon tax, roads congested, no one using bike lanes, etc.

How about we make the driving test like 10 times harder?

This removes all the shit drivers from the road. Currently the driving test just tests people's knowledge of procedures that no one uses. Who walks around the car to inspect before they get in? Who actually slows down and looks both ways at a green when they're proceeding through a light? Fuck that shit. Make it so that if you can't maintain 80 in traffic, you can't drive. If you can't make a split second decision, you can't drive. If you can't properly gauge how fast an oncoming car is going when you want to make a left, you can't drive. Shit like that.

Pushes all the c-lais, old people and idiots into the busses and trains where they belong, increasing ridership and transit revenue so those assholes can stop complaining about funds and cars and whatever. It also means there are more busses and trains running so there's less wait. People bike more out of necessity so the bike lanes are being used.

It comes down to...if you're terrible at driving, you don't get to drive. Increases the speed limit for everyone on the road. Everyone gets where they need to go faster, fewer accidents, more efficient use of money all around.

The only people this will piss off is the people that suck at driving...and who gives a shit what they want anyways? They're basically out there killing people (or at least inconveniencing us).

When I come to power, this is what will happen.
