Automobiles are dangerous and should be banned.
Think about it, automobiles are either directly or indirectly used in many forms of crime today. Things such as drunk driving require a car, while actions like shoplifting or smuggling are much easier to do with an automobile. Below I will illustrate various activities that make cars dangerous.
Drunk Driving: This illegal action requires a car; the impaired driver would not be nearly as big of a threat if he did not have a car. By completely removing cars from this equation, you eliminate the risk of getting hit or hitting an impaired person.
Automobiles are meant for transport: Forget gun ownership and regulation, how did the weapon get into your hands in the first place? At some point the weapon was transported by some type of automobile. Drugs? Same story, transported all over the place by hiding them in cars. Criminals? The first thing a criminal on the run is going to look for is a car to steal and break more laws with. In these scenarios, removal of the automobile destroys the ability to transport illegal substances, weapons and criminals, making everyone's lives safer.
Distracted Driving: Cars are literally built to distract drivers now days, will all of these fancy controls and comfort items; the car is just begging the driver to become distracted. A distracted driver is just as dangerous as a drunk driver, you are not only going to hurt someone else, but you are also putting yourself at a huge risk. One second you could be changing the song, the next second you could be in the ditch or have hit a pedestrian or an animal. This scenario illustrated how cars are dangerous to every living thing near them.
(Tl;DR) All of these tragic scenarios see people lives being ruined or taken by automobiles. They should be banned as a danger to our society; they are either directly or indirectly related to all of our problems, what I listed is only a taste of the disasters automobiles cause us. Automobiles need to be banned immediately for our own safety.
