According to the US Census Bureau there were 33,808 traffic fatalities in the US in 2009 alone. Vehicles cost lives.

All these lives could be saved yearly if people adopted other modes of transportation, like walking, public transport and bicycles.

These privately owned vehicles are an outrage and must be stopped. We suggest a gradual approach where we ban more and more classes of vehicles every election term until we reach the goal of having no more privately owned motor vehicles in America.

Initially this could center around the more scary looking vehicles, let us term them "Assault Vehicles" for convenience. These "Assault Vehicles" will be classified as having certain features that would appear to be menacing or dangerous in order to more easily make the public detest all personal vehicles in general over time.

These initial features could be:

* Tinted windows
* Certain colors such as black or red
* Fuzzy dice on the rear view mirror
* Rims over a certain size
* Corners and angles on the bodywork less than 110 degrees
* The ability to reach speeds in excess of 55Mph
* Motorcycles

This would impact a limited segment of the population that are generally distrusted by the remainder of America, even other vehicle owners. As such it will be a welcome initiative to all but a select few who do not need these kinds of vehicles in the first place in order to go about their daily lives.

In the longer term this ban will lay the groundwork for adding more colors, smaller size rims, more obtuse angles and lower maximum speed limits, until such a time as it is impossible to manufacture a personal use vehicle that comply with these standards.

Some suggested terms for future classes are:

* Death Vehicles (hearses)
* Crashing Vehicles (2 seater sports cars)
* Smashing Vehicles (cargo vehicles over a certain weight)

We will then have the option to completely outlaw vehicles that have already been grandfathered in on account of their production/import year, on the grounds that this ageing fleet of vehicles is no longer up to current safety standards. Another option to completely remove the existing fleet from the roads at this point would be to just outright ban gasoline and diesel fuel for use by private citizens or make the production of these fuels near impossible with environmental regulations.

Obviously government entities, emergency organizations and public transport authorities will not be affected by this ban and some traffic fatalities will still occur from the use of these vehicles, but we believe many lives will be saved by taking untrusted and unintelligent private citizens out of the equation.

Thank you for listening comrades.
