Why are there so many bad drivers in the world?

Question

You would think that people would show some value for life and the responsibility that comes with driving instead of taking it for granted.

Answer 1

Because people dont really take the time to fully learn and be cautious.

People just think

"Oh i'm just one person if i run this stop sign it won't matter everybody else will folow the rules"

But thats bad driving

and when more and more people think the same way, thats how accidents happen, cause two people cant take the time to be a little more cautious and both think that their bad driving wont change the world at all

but it changed THEIR world alot whent they get paralyzed now doesnt it

Answer 2

Immaturity, lack of understanding the rules of the road and laziness.........................

Answer 3

I can think of two reasons.  First the test to get a license is a joke.  Of course no one has much an interest in creating a suitable test because then less cars would be sold.

Second, people are easily distracted and very self-absorbed.  Put them in a vehicle moving at great speed and full of nifty gadgets and the problem is multiplied.

Answer 4

that would be like asking why do people comit crimes, but if your upset about lack of driving experties be sure you learn how to drive saftly and educate others about it good luck

Answer 5

many are not watching the road and their mirrors as closely as they should and or talking on the phone or to passengers

Answer 6

Because people are selfish by nature... everyone knows where they have to be and at what time, whether they are late, who is on the phone, etc... most don't stop to think that their actions could harm someone else.  Not too many people take their time to look around... too wrapped up in their own world!

Answer 7

Why doesn't cut it, only giving a better reason to change will fix it.

Answer 8

Most people THINK they are better drivers than they really are.  They think they can zip in and out of traffic or take a corner to fast, but they discovery, too late, that there are other people driving on the same road.

Answer 9
