Many call the passing lane "the fast lane" and truly don't know the difference, and stick in it causing traffic and accidents.
Many weave right before a left turn or vice versa as if they are driving an 80 foot tractor trailer, or have forgotten they aren't racing at Le Mans that day.
Many feel a red light or stop sign is a green/go for checking one's phone, despite being part of active traffic.
Wouldn't we save far more lives by adequately providing driving instruction to young and new drivers. Better yet, what about a graduated system as in other Western countries?
So many people feel they are better drivers than they really are, and given an instructor I've recently talked with, I can understand why this might come about. In my opinion, this instructor wasn't a good driver himself, having learned some rules from a book written long ago without relevancy in a world of smartphones, loud stereos and a majority of drivers that lack expected common sense in an "accident" scenario.
I will find data to support.
