I would suggest that you keep an eye on the traffic and be prepared

While I agree they are dangerous, the question is whether it is
tolerable in a civilised society to allow them to be this dangerous?
It seems to me that either the people who drive have got to get a
lot better at driving (I include myself), or slow down drastically,
or be prevented from driving. Current standards of driving skill in
this country are not acceptable.

How do you legislate for a driver suffering a heart attack whilst in
motion?

Give every driver a medical once a year and impose draconian
sentencing when they kill vulnerable road users.

How does that stop a driver suffering from a heart attack whilst driving,
how would you pay for the additional new doctors required to carry out the
check and what sentence would you impose on a dead car driver?

With testing you can mimimise the chances of a heart attack. As things
stand heart attacks are being encouraged if there is no medical
testing. The drivers would have to pay for their own medicals.

When a driver hits a vulnerable road user the driver is unlikely to
die.
