I wish we had something like this in the UK.

More than 6 points on your licence and you have to drive a yellow car with a 1l engine or smaller.

Restricting vehicle size after a DUI would make a lot of sense. Same for “novice” drivers licenses.

Lawmakers with poor understandings of physics think speed is the only factor in energy.

Given that v is squared in the equation, their understanding of physics seems okay to me.

Half the weight = half the energy… co-factor gonna co-factor.

(Tho I know some places do limit highway speeds for novice licenses)

Probably have to be something a lot smaller than 1l - how about a Citroen Ami:

I'm sure Citroen would do them in yellow for a bulk purchase?
