be more specific on law and legislation around the use of vehicles
the legislation needs to be defined on he uses of vehicle during this time as many people throught the country have vehicle for a multitude of reason not just as a mode of transport but to relax and excape a four wall scenario in which a person can feel trapped, confined and/or depressed
the specifics around this need to be defined as currently alot of police officers apear to be under a beleif that unless you are leaving your home for shopping i.e food or medicines that you need to remain at home and yet they are driving around two per car and are not actualy adhearing to "social distancing" where as people who need to escape the four wall scenario are being told it is unnessasary and are in cases being fined for needing some personal space outside of their homes
