I cover a lot of kilometers every week around our local roads and the driving standards that I observe are shocking to say the least.
If there is one thing that puts bad driving in a nutshell, it is driver impatience. Why is everyone in such a hurry that they will do stupid things just to gain five or ten seconds.
