My suggestion would be to:

  • Move to a place where not driving is a viable way of getting about. If you already live there, great!
  • Get a lifetime transit pass and consider getting a bicycle
  • Ditch your car and never look back

From the amount of accidents they have had. Maybe start with walking and see how that goes first before getting anything with wheels.

Yeah, I was about to suggest an e-bike or e-scooter. But probably better to just walk or take a bus/tram/metro.

at least with a bike the likelihood that they get into a fatal accident is incredibly more apparent.

And hopefully they realize it.
