After the recent debate regarding cycles and whether or not they should have number plates it became obvious to me that car drivers are getting away with all manner of illegal activities and these should not go unpunished.
They:
• Break the law by speeding.
• Break the law by going through traffic lights when they shouldn’t.
• Fail to indicate at junctions and roundabouts.
• Park in illegal and dangerous places.
• Drive the wrong way down one way streets.
• Drive in the wrong lane when driving on motorways etc.
• Overtake dangerously.
• Take know notice of zebra crossings.
• They don’t even pay road tax!!!
• Basically act like some kind of lord of the manor just because they have a car, jeez it’s not the 1920s now, having a car doesn’t make you some kind of middle class guru, despite what the daily mail may lead you to believe!!!
• Etc etc etc.
All these things are antisocial, dangerous, inconsiderate, and mostly illegal. Many people die or are injured yearly because of car drivers, please lord don’t let it be a child next. I remember the old days when I was possible to cross the road blindfolded and no harm would come to you, now crossing in hi-vis clothing with flashing lights and 110 dB alarms whilst looking isnt safe, it’s just not on.
So all car drivers should be microchipped, it should be legal requirement before driving. A small GPS device should be implanted that monitors their speed and location, in addition car drivers should be forced to wear cameras which face the road. All this data would be uploaded to a central system which would be analysed for any dangerous behaviours outlined above, most importantly to make sure all car drivers pay road tax.
Obviously car drivers who don’t break any laws or rules won’t mind having this as they don’t have anything to worry about. It’s only fair that the law is honoured and this is clearly the way to ensure that happening.
