I see so many YouTube videos of people running blatantly red lights and getting in accidents or other videos of people stopped and gunning it backwards, hitting something, then they put it in drive and launch full speed forwards and hit something else. What is going through these peoples mind? I just don’t get how there is such a high quantity of these videos.

    Most people take one 3-month driving class when they’re 15 or 16, then take one test, then never get tested again for the rest of their life.

      I’m in the UK which ordinarily has quite a difficult driving test that takes a lot of training. But even here, when I was at uni my housemate managed to get a license from a 1 week course. On our first trip out I had to drive us home in his car because his girlfriend was too terrified to get in the car with him driving lol

      Are you talking about usa? Bc it is the same in many countries but they usually don’t deal with such a big amount of terrible drivers (ain’t saying that to “usa bad” talk, just my pov)
