A lot of the ills of the road can be fixed through tougher driving tests and stricter penalities that make people value the privilege of driving. If you don't want to lose it, then you should be more responsible.
Part of the problem that is harder to fix is a society that is overloaded and inconsiderate. Not much can be done when your attitude to the guy next to you is comparable to something disgusting you might find under your shoe.

Today the target is a hand held cell phone. Wearing a head set to talk is ok.
Tomorrow will the target be the radio, talking to a passenger, eating, putting on make-up, or picking ones nose?
Distraction while driving is not good! The real problem is the number of licensed drivers, that don't know how to drive!
