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.
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.
