Here’s an idea: require a stricter driver’s test, especially on the vehicular side. And actually test drivers if they can merge properly. Or change lanes. Just because your blinker is on, Mr. Grand Cherokee, doesn’t mean that 15 feet of space between me and the car in front of me is yours. That space is called a “following distance.” The red triangle with “Yield” in the middle of it? That means you stop if a car is coming. And speaking of, a roundabout is designed to keep traffic flow going, not stopping.

And did you know that the state puts up these little white & black signs with numbers on them? They’re called speed limits. So if your 1980 Buick Century can’t muster up to that speed, you shouldn’t be on the freeway to begin with. Same goes for you, Mr. Smart Car (aka death trap) driver. Those cars aren’t highway material, regardless of “expert” opinions. Didn’t they say the Hindenburg was safe? The Titanic unsinkable?
