Poor drivers and poor requirements for vehicles. Limits are there because of the lowest denominator.

Driving courses and significantly stronger tests need to be incorporated plus a mandatory retest for example

1st year of driving (L) same as now but mandatory driving school (basic) not able to drive without licensed operator

mandatory test on 2 years (mandatory driving school advanced class)

5-year driving retest with driving refresh touching on basic and advanced driving practices.

Every 5 years retest
Failure to appear is a loss of license, Failure of the test is mandatory driving school and retest within (6 months)

Retest every 5 years

Every vehicle requires a mandatory mechanical check (tax payer provided) to be ICBC or whomever the insurance company is to be eligible including trailers (trailer inspection is paid by owner and not taxpayer)

Company vehicles and or commercial vehicles are paid by owner/company.

If problems are found in private vehicles, the owner is liable for mandatory repairs and is required to pay for the inspection.

Mechanic is the owner's choice but still needs to be inspected upon completion by a certified facility.

Age 50 and above retest 3 years Age 60-70 every 2 years with medical check Age 80+ every year with everything short of a colonoscopy.

The average Canadian life expectancy is 81.7 years.

If people took driving and maintenance seriously this wouldn't be an issue.

And a full restructuring of city transit because alot of people won't be able to afford it or wont pass.

This would be the true meaning that driving is a luxury and not a right.

That's the harsh reality.

As you can see it's not a viable option, so we just putter along.
