That would be a good way to go. Not sure I see it happening any time
soon...short of the technological solution I alluded to a while ago,
which would have serious political problems and isn't likely either.
The most likely situation is for nothing to change for the better, for
us to continue losing 35-40 thousand lives a year on the roads no matter
how much we increase the safety features of vehicles, and for the
government to increase the size of the fines to get more revenue...and
to provoke more people into hiring lawyers.

Learning from your mistakes is good. Learning from someone else's
mistakes is better.
