It would be nice if there would be some sort of digital technology that would be installed into cars and allow them to only run thrice or twice a week. Of course when you park, its gps system would then see if your car is at its “base” or to the usual place where you park your car. And it’ll continue to run if it is not in the proper place.

Of course there should be a law that nobody could park overnight at a different place and could only be done if a certain service is called on the car’s internal telephone and giving the reasons to the call operator. And there should be a week’s limit of doing so or the operator should be contacted again after one week or then it shall be charged to your car’s limit and you cannot move your car until the next week.

A lot of laws could be proposed as of this. Some gadgets could be installed in cars that would signal if the car’s device is really working and the main service company that controls the cars would really notice if the car is not in sync with the database anymore and the cops would be sent. The method of the Singaporeans of having a long car registry could also be applied.

I wouldn’t go as far as that, personally.
A better idea would be at the most, 2 days (48 hours) use.
Emergencies could be enabled, but if it was a lie just so you could drive, you’d have to pay the penalty. (depending on how far you drove)

Most people don’t need cars.
Most people who have cars certainly don’t need to use them most of the time.
A bike is more than adequate for most journeys, or even walking.
Just a shame that most places seem to hate bikes…
I think the main reason is because you are in the weather, but that could easily be fixed with a frame over the bike to protect you.
More comfortable seats could work too.
