Driving
Metro Vancouver is looking for 200 volunteers to participate in study on driving. People will learn how to drive more efficiently, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption.

Bad, drunk and distracted drivers are a danger to us all on the roads every day, and we need a policy that if any motorist takes someone’s life, they lose their licence for life (at the very minimum). 
 
We should also be instituting mandatory driving tests every five years and more frequent after 60 years to account for teaching people to adapt to new technology (stop looking at phones) and potential declines in, for example, eyesight. Sub-par drivers are endangering all of our children.
