I had worked for an executive driving service back in '90 and it was mandatory for ALL the drivers to take a defensice driver course. To this day, I have reacted or did something based on that course that has saved me from being involved with someone else's lapse in judgement.
One of my many gripes with drivers today is that they don't know their vehicles. They buy a car, truck or SUV but don't know how to drive the vehicle safely. They tend to get a vehicle that's too big for them. How many of us veteran drivers know whether or not our vehicle will fit into a parking space just by looking at it? Or we know that we have enough room to pass another vehicle or stationary object without having to stop or slow down? (I'm not talking recklessness or cockiness, but confidence in our abilities.)
Second would be that the majority of new drivers (regardless of nationality) are taking drivers ed classes that ONLY seem to prepare them for the test and not real driving experiences. (I compare it to the MCAS test issues.)
I think we've all experienced those fun drivers that don't have a clue what there doing or where they're going.
There were just a couple of my driving grumpages.
