For implementation world-wide asap
All persons wishing to obtain their motorbike licence must perform the following tasks without complaining:
1. Spend 6 hours in a c-spine collar on a hard emergency department bed.
2. Have cannulas put into both arms and bloods drawn by healthcare workers who look like they’re actually work experience students from year 10 at the local high school.

Yep. What is it again, 47x more likely to die when driving a motorbike than a car? Or something…
I’ve been on a motorbike 3 times in my life, twice in Vietnam which was scary enough (someone crashed into us). I have an exhaust pipe scar from the other time…

Big Sigh. If this were a democracy, I would vote in favour of your edict. Mrs Toast has an L-plate, a motorbike, and 37 metres of bubblewrap.

The world of Yay is indeed not a democracy. It is generally a benign dictatorship. With the option of becoming less benign should the subjects not willingly submit to the laws of the land.

And of course, like Turkmenbashi, you may rename “July” as “the Month of Yay”. September can be “Pookamonth”.
