Everyone has, is or will be a dickhead behind the wheel at least once in their lives. Just like the large majority who have had a couple of beers and probably shouldn't have driven home but still did. Most of the time you are lucky and get away with it. Keep pushing that luck and suddenly the odds of returning home become less.
If the government were serious about the road deaths, the only solution is training. You don't just jump in a high performance car and become a high performance driver (well except in an evo
). Start training drivers better, make it harder to get a license and create a better breed of drivers for the future.
