Getting serious with people dying in their cars

My last blog entry wasn't to imply that I'm cool with drunk drivers getting in their cars and turning schoolchildren into pavement paint.  The point is, if you have even half a mind, cars are dangerous fucking business.  It sucks getting behind the wheel, ever.  Even worse, imagine driving across a state with a MPH limit of 70+ in a wind storm.  It's terrorism, plain and simple.  There are a couple of easy ways we could retain the freedom of individuals to operate their own motor vehicles that are currently at our fingertips, and I bet we could cut traffic fatalities in this fucking country in HALF.  IN HALF, in one year.

1. Cap speeds for all motor vehicles at 60 miles per hour.  Restrict the speed limit on freeways and highways to 55 MPH (which was, in more conventional times, thought to be a reasonable traveling speed).  Just because our cars are safer and faster doesn't mean we have to observe the "faster" part all the fucking time.  Imagine a terror free-trip to grandma's house for just a second.  Imagine enjoying the scenery.
2. Mandatory driver's education.  It's staggering how many states have cut this element of public education.  Fuck them all in the ass for arming young drivers with the most dangerous weapon one can wield in this fucking country.
3. Outlaw any use of a cellular phone, for speaking or texting, in an automobile.
4. Equip all vehicles with BAC monitoring hardware.  Anyone above .02 will not be able to start his/her vehicle.  Why go this far?  Because we fucking can, that's why.  If you want to cut out drunk driving, stop pussyfooting around.  Don't complain about the loss of freedom, the simpering lot of you, because you're NOT FREE to drive drunk at the present.  An arbitrary number is currently law, but technology could reduce error to zero, and thereby save many, many lives if there is, indeed, a correlation between drunkenness and fatal accidents.

Anyone, feel free to refute me in my comments section, or offer a counterargument as to why these steps are any different than current laws we already have in place.  I mean, look at it:

1. We already have speed limits.
2. We used to have such programs.
   
3. We enforce laws against not wearing seat belts or watching pornographies in your car, for instance.
4. There is already a limit on alcohol consumption and driving.  It doesn't work.  Shit, it barely does anything.  

I know it would be radically unpopular to implement step 1. and 4. from my argument above, because people wouldn't be able to go out and have a few drinks, and because they'd spend an extra hour driving across Nebraska.  Well fuck it, at least we'd reduce fatalities in half.  Fucking think about it.
