<<What we really need in the US is a good ol' fashion recession to clear 
up the roads of all the inexperienced drivers and rolling automotive 
debris.>>

<Not sure how recession helps.  An economic downturn will not change the 
experience level of drivers out there.  It will however lower new car 
sales, fewer technologically advanced cars on the road.  It will keep 
more used/older cars on the road as it will be less expensive to keep vs 
buy.  It will keep those at the margin from making costly/ necessary 
repairs to the cars they currently do have increasing the chance for 
mechanically caused mishaps and environmental pollution.>

Benefits:

1) fewer people working = fewer cars on the road = big benefit

2) fewer people working = fewer people with marginal skills operating marginal vehicles
    (back on da bus maan)

3) fewer people working = fewer people willing to spend big buck$ on fool for SUVs

4) less demand for consumer products = fewer stinking, carcinogen belching behemoths on the road

5) fewer accidents and less human carnage and lower insurance rates

6).......
