Bad drivers . . .grrr
Found on MSN today:
At least one of every five drivers doesn't know when to use bright lights, how to follow directional arrows or when highways are the most slippery, results from a national driver's test show. GMAC Insurance administered a 20-question test -- similar to a traditional licensing test at the local DMV – to 5,288 drivers and released the results last week. Of those tested, nearly 10% were unable to answer enough questions correctly to achieve a passing score of 70.If the test results are any guide, America's pedestrians are in deep, deep trouble.
20% of drivers do not know that a pedestrian has the right of way at a marked or unmarked crosswalk.
1 in 3 drivers don’t usually stop for pedestrians – even if they’re in a crosswalk or at a yellow light.
One-third admit they speed up to make a yellow light even when pedestrians are in the crosswalk.

Well we are all too busy driving our bad a cars that give us our cool image with our sunglasses and our music up loud, stoking our egos, to actually pay attention to driving.
