It means we need mandatory driver’s education.
Most people don’t even know how to merge properly (not even a zipper merge, just the concept of matching/exceeding the lane speed so that you can enter safely) let alone how close to follow, how to use a roundabout, or when to signal and why.
People seem to think signalling is for them and not others, so they signal for literally a split second or don’t signal at all and I have no idea how they came up with those maneuvers other than in complete desperation and ignorance.
All of that means that people die/kill people because they’re not skilled or knowledgeable enough, something that could be prevented.
BC is getting rid of one of their driving road tests because there’s too much demand and not enough people to do the testing. So, the solution is to just let everyone have a license with less training apparently.
Damn, that’s crazy. Tbh, I’ve always liked the idea of being a driving instructor but you generally have to pay to modify your own car (in ON, not sure about BC, of course) and that’s prohibitively expensive for me. No wonder there’s a low supply of people with instructor experience to do the testing.
I’ve said it in the past and I’ll say it again: we need mandatory driving exams every 5 years for everyone.
Well, obviously we need to ban accidents. Someone needs to put some legislation on the table that criminalizes this shit, before it destroys the fabric of our society.
Official vocab guidelines state we no longer refer to these incidents as acccidents, they’re now collisions.
It wasn’t the fall that killed them; it was the collision.
I’m more concerned that the first two causes of death are intentional ducks
As my old boss put it - he drove race cars also - those drivers “ran out of skill”.
Are we mandating driver’s education? No. Are we imposing tough sentences on people driving like idiots in winter? Also no. Are print-media headlines consistent about verb use? Again, no.
We should require more training and certification to get a vehicle license than we do for getting a PAL in my opinion. It’s more deadly and you use it a hell of a lot more, so why is there so little requirements to getting and keeping a license or buying a vehicle you aren’t able to drive?
There should almost be a separate drivers license class for these giant Ford, Chevy, and Dodge trucks compared to little passenger cars
