I nearly got hit the other day by some idiot changing lanes into me. I slammed on the brakes and was able to get out of his way, then rode the horn until he realized what he had done. He wasn't on a cell phone, wasn't elderly, wasn't a "ricer," wasn't even an asian* woman! He was just another guy not paying attention.

Our roadways are cluttered with idiots. People have no comprehension of the laws of physics as they apply to their cars, no comprehension of how ugly a freeway speed accident can be, and no clue how to drive.

But complaining is useless. How do we fix the problem? More police aren't the solution -- they just ticket "speeders," and seem to always miss the important problems. Can we push for legislation to make licensing more challenging? Who do we push, and what lobbying organization to we get behind? There must be some way to repair the roads...
