The world would be a much better place if there were a law…
–Allowing parents to make their houses “payable on death” the way bank accounts are. The parents could change this disposition at any time, the way they can on bank accounts. Real property, if titled this way, would not have to go through probate.
–Saying that a spouse who is required to put the other spouse on title when refinancing a home, retains full ownership of the property. Adding a spouse when re-fiing would not be considered a “gift” to the non-owner spouse.
–Allowing motorists to run down skateboarders older than 16. Maybe there should be a bag limit, such as “no more than three per calendar year.” There is nothing more obnoxious than a 20-year-old skateboarder zipping in front of your car without regard to traffic signals. Shouldn’t these kids be doing honest work, such as robbing banks or dealing drugs?
–Mandating that anyone under the age of 21 caught driving a BMW, Accura, Lexis or high-end Toyota or Nissan be subjected to random searches for contraband substances. Where do these kids get these cars, anyway?
–Making the listening to any of Lloyd Weber’s music a misdemeanor.
–Saying that mariachi bands may not play “Cielito Lindo” more often than once every 90 minutes.
–Authorizing a mandatory five-day jail sentence for signal-jumpers.
–Prohibiting radio station helicopters from circling over residential neighborhoods.
–Permitting marriage for any two committed adults.
–Requiring everybody to have an Advance Health Care Directive or a Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care.
–Prohibiting cats from wandering free to crap in my vegetable garden, the same as city and county ordinances prohibit dogs from running free.
–Requiring the DMV to administer drivers’ tests (not just written tests) every two or three years to licenced drivers over 65 or 70.
–Requiring all dogs and cats to be microchipped.
–Making it illegal to challenge the citizenship of a current or former President of the United States without credible evidence.

My suggestions:
-Prohibiting motorcycles from splitting lanes anytime traffic moves at more than 25 mph.
-Making it a citable offense for any vehicle to drive in the fast lane at less than the posted speed limit, if traffic flow allows.
-Requiring traffic engineers to place a priority on efficient traffic flow when designing traffic signals at intersections–who in their right mind would have five traffic signals in a span of six blocks? Shouldn’t all lights be synchronized to move traffic efficiently and cut down on greenhouse gases caused by idling?
-Banning all leaf blowers. Period.
-Raising speed limits on freeways to whatever the roads will allow–heard of the Autobahn?
-Requiring all television programs that fall under the category of “news” (or purport to be “news”) to be publicly-funded. All other such shows would be defined as entertainment or commentary.
