Let's not forget, it's usually the dumbest most unqualified people who think it's safe to do the dumbest things.

And this is the problem. I've said in previous threads about driving that I think I am a decent driver. Problem is that everyone thinks they are awesome and there is no way to prove who is and who isn't. Plus, even if you do prove it, how do you deal with it?
I could be the best driver in town, but there is no way I can get special privileges. And you certainly can't restrict people who aren't good drivers. Oh wait, they do that with young people (which I don't agree with- if you do it for young you should do it for old. Then it becomes a slippery slope, so let's forget it).
Also I keep good care of my vehicle. I am not a dumbass when driving, I just like go to fast. I think I have good driving skills. For every one like me (which I am sure lots who replied to this thread are also good drivers) there is someone who is average or WORSE. Think about how BAD the average driver is. Then think about the half that are wose than average...
Unfortunately, they have the same rights on the road as those of us who actually are average or better!
