Something about drivers

So as I make my way around the roads always watching and waiting for the next demonstration of stupidity I constantly wonder how some of these people manage to avoid the road rage that they cause. Being oblivious to the world around them really isn't an excuse to be a poor driver, unfortunately they don't believe that they are poor drivers. When they get home do they complain to anyone that will listen about how they got honked at, sworn at, and single finger gestured at, and yet not figure it out that there was a reason for the reactions from other drivers. What they see is that the rest of the drivers are really rude and impatient.

Everyday I witness, incorrect lane changes, speeding, signal left turn right, no signal at all, and a host of other near misses. What these people seem to forget is that they are behind the wheel of 2000lbs of metal, capable of creating a great mass of carnage in a split second, and when they do, they take no personal responsibility for their actions, but shift the blame to someone else.

Canada's worst driver, a great show to watch, however these people are bad drivers for a reason and they are not taught to be good drivers, what they are taught is to be better drivers than the other worse drivers on the show. What it is like, having a group of murderers on a show and the ones that look like they won't do it again get to go free without consequence. It doesn't mean that they have improved in the real world it just means that they are only better then the other killers on the show. What they should just be doing is weeding out the bad drivers, have them on the show, but they should never get to drive again. Someone who murders is likely to murder again, someone who kills someone with their car is still a murderer, and should face the consequences of their actions.

Until the courts and the pussy judges start handing out real time for the crime, nothing will ever change.
