I'm a strong believer that the driving test should include some sort of spatial awareness test.
If you can't work out which spaces you can safely fit your car through, you shouldn't be allowed on the road.

this is precisely HOW you end up being stuck behind a selfish cyclist
who doesn't give a monkeys that he is slowing down lots of people

Gets my vote
If you include kneecappings for tailgaters, I'm in

And lane hogs.
We should either properly punish those twats, or fully legalise undertaking.

I would also have those stingers the police use to stop stolen cars pop up on the white line at the traffic lights when they change to red and line the lanes of roundabouts with nails.

^^this
most motorway queues and a lot of accidents start with a line of tailgaters, one brakes, the next one brakes and so on and 10 cars back they either have to stop dead or crash, it's called caterpillar effect.

Mark of a good driver is anticipation, you should never have to use the brakes on a motorway till you exit, if you do it means you or someone else did something wrong.

I absolutely love it when I see a tiny car like a Yaris or something slam the anchors on because they think they won't fit through a gap.
Despite the Transit in front of them managing to sail through it with ease.

I don't, because I'm usually driving the car behind him.
