I feel you do not meet the same drivers I do, giving a lot of them credit for having half a brain is seriously over-estimating them.
I agree that the current crop of drivers is not the brightest. We created this situation by not expecting them to think even before they got on the road.
Expect a person to think and, eventually, that's exactly what they will do. The trick is to not give up expecting someone to think even when you see that, for the moment, they can't. The earlier in life this starts the better.
