Driving requires intuition.
Among other things like good judgement.
Sometimes, maybe often, I just wish I was born in the mid 1800s.
Driving requires common sense, an understanding of human nature (within your culture) and a basic knowledge of physics.
Unfortunately, "In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 crashes (30,296 fatal crashes), killing 32,999 and injuring 2,239,000."
This is a strong indication that the above listed requisites are lacking in a large portion of the population.
