In light of the many “ban the cyclist” type of question on here this has made me wonder, is it now time to put more control on driving in the UK?

A list of the downsides affecting driving in the UK:

-We have a situation here in the UK where drivers kill 3000 people a year, maim many thousands more and cause conflict hourly.
-congestion has reached epidemic proportions (Bristol and London traffic suffers terribly during the day)
-pollutants from the exhausts such as carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and many byproducts of the petrochemical fuels used, and noise pollution from tyres and engines
-motorvehicles are often used to transport just one person – should car pooling be more strongly encouraged?
-they are grossly expensive to run with high maintenance costs
-we are now beleived to have reached well past “peak oil”
-bad drivers are consistantly let off with fines and endanger all

Anyway, is driving now so negative an activity on society that it needs extra control?
