Specifically related to driving: I believe that the licensing requirements should be slightly higher and that more should be done to guard against bad driving and not just illegal driving. E.g. I've never seen anyone get a ticket for getting on the highway going a third of the speed of traffic, but that's certainly dangerous. Instead, people get tickets for exceeding a limit set by the capabilities of the lowest common denominator by a small percentage regardless of conditions (often not particularly dangerous - not an excuse for reckless driving, of course).
I simply think that there are better solutions. For one, public transportation.
