At least where I live, we have more and more drivers of less and less competence. Driver's Ed, which used to be mandatory to graduate high school, left the public curriculum many years ago when schools decided that it was more important to graduate college students than productive members of society. Now if you are 18 years old, at least in California, you don't need any formal Driver's Ed training, either classroom or practical. And that allows crappy drivers to get licensed if they can somehow manage to pass the DMV exam. Or, just not bother to get a license.



Funny story, I attended my 50th high school reunion a couple of years ago and met up with a woman who gushed about how she fondly remembered me from sharing a car during Driver's Ed. (I didn't remember her...).
