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.

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.

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.
