I agree, but that comes back to making people take some responsibility, and that isn’t likely to happen. I can tell you how to improve accident rates by at least 30%. It’s really simple.
Outlaw cell phones.
Starting to move in that direction on cellphones. A big part of it really is governmental though. The state governments set the standards for training and testing, and they’re basically a joke. By and large no standard for training, sure if you want a high school diploma you probably have to take 9 weeks of driver’s ed, but it’s unnecessary for the actual license. And our tests are half-assed. What’s funny is that nobody seems to actually care, half the country knows we put under trained drivers on the road, the other half wouldn’t argue against it, and yet nobody’s that uptight about it. Meanwhile people demand peanut free zones at the ballpark.
