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.
