Why, I for one wouldn't mind strictly timed written tests as well as graded pass/fail exams in driving simulators being made mandatory to obtain a new license as well as to renew an existing one.  Admittedly, I don't see Honolulu being able to shift resources that way any time soon. 

But that, and the seizure and timely auction or destruction of all uninsured vehicles and any and all vehicles not properly registered and licensed could go a long way to clearing our roads and improving safety for everyone else. 

What?   Are you unable to afford insurance premiums and registration fees and still need your car to get to work and thus feed you and your family?   Then you should be allowed six months to get your priorities straight and either find a way to legally drive your car or learn to live with public transportation.
