I did not need a study to know that some people just cant drive, even in a simple circle. Now put a cell phone in their hands or make it snow and now there is some real chaos. -eek- I dare them to do that again with everyone on a cell phone and while it is snowing. I bet nobody would survive. :evil:

Ooooh. This should be a part of driver's tests in the States. We can just identify them up front and deny them.
:clap:

I just wish we had some kind of system that identified and removed people that are hazards before they have a chance to put others in danger. We don't even have one that does anything AFTER they crash into you. Our laws for driving without a license or while suspended are a joke too. No wonder it is safer to fly in a plane then it is to drive to the grocery store.

Maybe they could combine the traffic circle with a firing range in the middle, and let the hunters thin the herd directly.opcorn:
