I think training drivers to eco drive and taking cars OFF the road altogether is the only way to save fuel, resources and reduce accidents.
This is clearly false. While your suggestions are good ways to conserve resources and improve safety, they are obviously not the only ways to do so. They might be the best ways to accomplish these goals at the moment, but again they aren't the only way, and necessarily the best way in the future.
