I've been aware of the dangerous nature of cars for a long time now. In fact when I was living in Beijing there was a car that drove into a crowd of people at Tiananmen Square, killing and injuring many. And then came the Bastille Day Massacre in Nice, France. A sociopathic killer driving a vehicle was able to kill 84 people. The article is below:

Don't you think it's about time to take sensible steps to limit who can drive and what they can drive? How was this mentally-disturbed individual able to gain access to such a dangerous machine? If he only had a gun far fewer people would have died. So let's hear from progressives on this one. What policies should be in place to prevent such a destructive act in the future?
Examples include:
1. Limiting the size of a vehicle's fuel tank to 1 gallon of gasoline
2. Limiting the size of a vehicle's tires to half of what they are now
3. Reducing speed limits to 5 miles per hour in these areas
4. Having vehicle-buster signs, so that no vehicles will be allowed to enter these crowded areas
5. Having to pass FBI background checks to drive anything beyond a motorcycle
6. Completely banning dangerous and gratuitous vehicles such as pickup trucks
It's time for sensible vehicle control legislation. How many lives have to be lost before we come to our senses?
