I think lawmakers should get more visionary and just ban the automobile altogether.
I could see something similar happening inside a city where they would ban all personal vehicles and require you to use public transport or "authorized" taxi services.

Look at the Grand Canyon.

You used to be able to drive wherever you wanted, but now you park at the entrance and take a bus in the park.

Several larger European cities are like that. EG London.

I have a better idea... Ban stupidity!

It appalls me to see how idiotic some people drive. It is almost as if their brain isn't much bigger that that of a gnat. Add in all of the technology, and.... Well you get the picture!

The problem with stupid people is that they're too stupid to realize they're stupid.

Got a link? All I got from the post was quotes that they're merely asking them to look into it, not necessarily forcing them to do it.
Yeaaahhhh...because the latter never follows the former.

Yes...it was in the news several weeks ago that the Feds are working on mandatory breathalyzers to be placed on ALL vehicles in the future. What a PITA!!! Especially when they malfunction or react to your mouthwash (yes they do that). Not to mention the increased cost to the consumer placed upon every vehicle. Big Government out of control. I won't even get into the fact that penalties for drunk driving are just not harsh enough.
By 2023 is what I read. I agree, Big Government out of control.

What ever happened to good old fashioned Accountability?? Now the Government is trying to protect us from "Bad Decisions"?!?! DD is BAD, don't get me wrong, but this is getting scary, what's next, the Dream Police?!?! Kidding...Not Kidding. :-(

It all starts by allowing government overreach and not resisting. The public has been tested by submitting to mandates that local state and federal governments have no authority to enforce.
The greatest form of resistance is non-compliance. But we all have to stand together.
They are our representatives, not our leaders. They are supposed to represent what the people want, not what their self-serving agendas desire.
We the people sent a message to the British about Government overreach and representation. It was called the Boston Tea Party.
Many dead soldiers and Marines rolling over in their graves right now because this current division and socialist agenda is not what they died for.
I hope I didn't go too far because I know this platform is not the place to express for this. One thing I like about this platform is that we all come from many different walks of life and many different opinions and political views and we don't muddy up what this platform is designed for. But as Americans, let's agree to disagree where we do and let it not interfere with what is being accomplished on this platform.

Semper Fidelis - U.S. Marine Corps
Semper Supra - U.S. Space Force
This We’ll Defend - U.S. Army
Undetermined - U.S. Navy
Aim High … Fly-Fight-Win - U.S. Air Force
Semper Paratus - U.S. Coast Guard
Semper Fortis - U.S. Navy

Oh my gosh. So sorry I omitted that. I had it and I don't know how I inadvertently omitted it.
I also should've said that not only are there many dead soldiers and Marines rolling over in their graves over what is happening in this country, but many dead sailors and Air Force personnel also.
It also goes for our founding forefathers and many others.
