I'm all about the freedom driving gives you, but nobody says you can't be safer and still enjoy that freedom. We have despicably low standards for driving in this country. Combine the lack of skill with all these giant vehicles that make you feel invincible, add in some bad weather and sub-par roads, and it's no surprise when you get awful weekends like this last one.
It all comes down to driver training and testing...neither of which our system excels in.
