Something I heard once- "The one thing we all have in common is we all have above average driving skills."
It's good food for thought. How often have you heard somebody say "yeah, my driving sucks."
For me the biggest issue is driver education and training. It boggles my mind that a 15 minute test I took when I was 16 entitles me to drive for the rest of my life.
In busy traffic, anybody who is not driving with the speed of the rest of the traffic presents a hazzard. Be it too slow or too fast; both have different issues that affect safety. Myself, I quite often speed on freeways, but I almost never speed in residential areas.
