Just for a bit of fun.

A: you can make one thing legal that’s currently illegal

B: you can make one thing illegal thats currently legal

A - I would make it legal to exceed the speed limit by a small amount (10 - 20 mph) while overtaking on a single carriageway, so you can get the overtake done quicker, and be on the “wrong” side of the road for less time, making the overtake safer.

B - I would make it illegal to affect someone’s mental health in the same way that it is illegal to physically harm someone. The punishment would scale in severity similar to physically harming someone based on how severe the offence is.

Of course you can give silly answers as well as serious ones … for example I would make wearing jeans with rips in them illegal. ;)

Looking forward to reading your answers :)

    I would make it illegal for any parent not to take parental responsibility for their child without it being through a court order.  Stop them just walking away from a child without any penalties 

    I would make it law that everyone has access to a dentist and that they can only charge the NHS rate for treatment

    Buckle up...   ;)

    I'd make alcohol illegal.  No health benefits, lots of misuse/abuse/addiction, lots of cost to NHS and emergency services.  (Don't worry, it'll never happen, the gov't make too much in tax from it.  :p )

    I'd also make religion illegal outside of your own home/place of worship.  No-one should be forced to live or act a certain way because of someone else's belief system!
     
    I'd make it illegal for people to have dogs off a lead on a public pavement.  The pavement is 4ft wide, how much extra exercise do they think they're getting!?



    Can't think of anything illegal I'd like to make legal...I must be more boring than I thought!  :D
