MMMmmmm. I doubt that.

Apart from that, most people just don't know how to drive. Whether they engage in "overly aggressive" maneuvers/practices or not. They do not understand how a car responds to certain conditions and cannot adjust when they get into trouble. Simple fact is that the driving requirements are TOO LOW and people are just "getting by" with low amount of skill. Too many people's knowledge of a car is utterly limited to getting, turning the key, putting the car in gear and pressing the pedals and turning the steering wheel accordingly. THERE IS MORE TO IT THAN JUST THAT!!!!! and knowing what a road sign means.
