While I hate requiring complex and expensive solutions, I really think the only choice is mandating adaptive headlights. They make a huge difference and don’t require anything from the driver. Headlight glare is well beyond the point of spending a little on the only solution

Should fail the road test if they can’t keep the vehicle in the lane, can’t fit the vehicle in a standard parking spot.
It used to be a point of pride that you could drive well enough for a larger vehicle, but now it’s the larger vehicles that can’t stay in the lane or reverse or park
Maybe that’s what we need. Regular reminders of actual laws and good practices should increase the number of people who follow them.
Most of the times I’ve been endangered, the driver was competent (as far as I know). Usually they make a stupid choice (and we all do it) and it’s probably something that’s no big deal nine times out of ten ….. except when it is a big deal
In my state, my kids were required to have basic knowledge of controlling the car before drivers Ed, not be allowed with the instructor until passing a written test, keep a log tracking sufficient experience, and satisfy the instructor (little bit of conflict of interest paying more hours). Road test with the state was not allowed until they were endorsed by a driving school.
(Then they ruin all that by saying 18 year olds are adults who are responsible for themselves and can just show up for the road test)
Or make it more scientific. What bad habits or violations contributes to the most harm last year? Stress those
The important point is it’s not age specifically, but health conditions that may become common with age …. And can also happen at younger ages
Anecdotally they do. Every one of my elderly relatives self-limited how frequently they drive, long before they had to give up their licenses
For example they may stop driving at night or long distance or into cities
Wow. Do you even get a mile before failing that? I wouldn’t. And I certainly consider myself a safer than average driver (and I’m at the safest tier for insurance)
Then don’t just put it on the elderly. Put it on all drivers. Maybe test beginner and elderly drivers more often, but it’s not like adults are exempt from poor driving habits
At work I need to take monthly training on computer security and ethics. It’s all basic stuff I’ve heard many times. There’s nothing unique about it. But there are studies verifying that the regular reminders make a huge difference.
Even if all we do is periodic reminders of good habits, even if people already “know”, it does help
Are you really saying that since so many bad drivers currently have licenses, we shouldn’t even try?

I just got an Airthings Radon monitor, and the integration with HA went smoothly. As a starting dashboard I have a simple card displaying sensor values.
But I let myself get carried away and got the one with the most sensors. So expected to see history graphs so I can look at trends or events, but it never occurred to me they were all different units and scales. HA wants to create many charts, which is less easy to read.
Does anyone have dashboard ideas on how to display these?

If that’s a Nazi joke, touché
Otherwise there’s nothing inherently wrong with that. The autobahn gives you a safer environment, separated from pedestrians, cyclists, turning traffic. There are fewer things to endanger with speed. And the internet keeps telling me driving standards are higher in Germany: nothing wrong with proficient drivers going faster in places they don’t endanger anyone but themselves
