A friend of mine had a plan for traffic control where everyone with a driver's license gets three paintballs and a paintball gun for their entire driving life. Folks police the bad drivers themselves. This way, if a cop sees a person with three paintball splots on their car, he can pull `em over and take their license and car away on the spot. It'd also make people more courteous, knowing if you pissed someone off enough, they could splot you and stick you on the bus for the rest of your life.

I aims my car reel good and as it has four wheel drive, i can go at least the speed limit under any conditions.
I nearly always am able to get where I goes.

A few things get to me, an idiot who can't aim there car so well as me.
They have to slow down on ice and snow, so they sometimes get in my way.

The other problem our those dang trees and lite polls that jump out in front of I.

I have had a solution for wrecks from redlight runners for years. When the light changes from amber to red, the cross street light doesn't change to green. There would be a five second delay where all lights on both streets are red.

I can speak to the annoyace of the jerk who parks their tiny 300 series bmw (why is it always a bmw?) across TWO parking spaces?

It is generally the same jerk who has kept up their handicapped tag YEARS after their temporary need from a broken leg has looooooong passed.

my snow tire has a rip on the inside of the tire. How in the world does that happen? I drive a Miata and haven't run over anything that I can remember. Of course I also have a bruise on my tummy and I can't remember why that would be there either.

The Carpoon would greatly enhance the driving experience. Envision this scenario: You're behind a bad driver stopped at a traffic light. The light turns green, but the bad driver does not move. He was completely unprepared for the fact that -- how the heck would anybody know this? -- red would be followed by green. He's sitting there, baffled, like a person watching a drive-in movie with a very complicated plot.

This would be perfect for central New Jersey

Not only am I a better driver that most, my feet don't stink too.

Bad drivers should get a time-out. They should have the option to get out of some tickets by going to time out stops were they would put their nose in a chalk circle on the wall. A point system would determine how long. Retired school teachers with training from retired nuns on how to use a yardstick could watch them. Some place with allot of foot traffic like Starbucks.
Then their are those that should be hung by their feet from overpasses. If their lucky no large trucks or buses will pass.
