Seat belt locks are on all vehicles, preventing the vehicle being driven unless belts are fastened.
No more putting boxes heavier than a small child + car-seat on the back seat of your car.

Occupant crash protection measures are on all buses as well as all other vehicles, such as 3-point belts.
Bus travel becomes even slower as the driver is murdered by East London pikeys after he refuses to drive off until they sit down and put on their 3-point seatbelts. Another road death that isn't a "road death".

Compulsory qualifications are required for vehicle mechanics, renewed in line with technological developments.
It is now cheaper to service your aircraft than your car.

Vehicles must have compulsory servicing, in line with manufacturer recommendations on timing and standards. An on-board clock prevents a vehicle starting if a service date is missed.
Like the oft-misfiring BMW service indicator, only it prevents you from going and getting it sorted!

Vehicles can’t be started if the on-board computer identifies a safety critical defect between services.
How exactly is the computer going to identify a split CV joint gaiter, that one of my MOTs picked up as a safety-critical failing?

Compulsory road crash awareness education is in nurseries and schools for all ages, warning against driving.
One might suggest that education on a topic is best left until less than 15 years before one is likely to practice it.

Driver training focuses on hazard and crash awareness and prevention measures.
Does it not already?

New drivers are banned from driving at night and on the fastest roads.
The statistically safest roads?

New drivers are banned from carrying passengers other than their own family members.
Because its ok to kill a whole family together? I'm not even allowed to have both my parents on the same aircraft during Families' Day flying at work. Have these people not seen Saving Private Ryan!?

Cameras on roads and in vehicles can identify vehicles, drivers, and any offences that can still feasibly be committed, such as red light running or mobile phone use.
Would the cost of a computer system capable of detecting DWDCA not be likely to exceed the annual salary of a traffic police officer?

Large numbers of highly trained traffic police are armed with relevant detecting equipment, to patrol and identify offences that can still be committed.
That'd be the Mk1 Eyeball then...
There are of course many, many, many more bullet points which I haven't addressed, that is because they are either so incredibly insane that I feel poking fun at them does not constitute sport, or that the joke at their expense is so clear that it would be crass to enunciate it! I do wonder if anyone at BRAKE would be willing to engage in debate on this topic!
