You can run across the North End faster than driving.

Instead of "closing the goddam bridge". He woulda caught those dastardly bank robbers in scary nun outfits.

Driving personal vehicles has enormous negative externalities and seems to turn many otherwise sane people into lunatics.

I'd love to (a) raise the barrier to entry with a serious licensing regime and (b) nail the bad behavers with draconian penalities. It's a well-known joke on UHub and elsewhere that the best way to get away with murder is to use your car but it's actually horribly unfunny.

MA has a good firearms licensing structure. We could use that as a model. Both cars and guns are extremely dangerous items.
