    Wouldn’t better driving education and testing work just as well, if not better?

      as with a lot of tests, the thing a driving test is the best at measuring is how well you can take a driving test.

      You can pass multiple driving tests, and still be an idiot driver. So many people drive HUA, (Head Up Ass), while thinking they are the best driver on the road that it isn’t even funny.

      Remember Kiddies, driving should never be viewed as “relaxing” or “enjoyable.” It’s work, hard work and should be mentally taxing every minute you are on the road.

        As someone with ADHD, it is relaxing. And it is super enjoyable. I like thinking about how the weight of my car shifts going around corners. I like trying to be as smooth as possible shifting gears. There is a lot of information and the focus on it all quiets the noise normally in my head.

        Leave early enough you aren’t stressed about being late.

        Just let the asshole aggressive driver in.

        Leave more than enough space that you have time to react.

        Don’t treat it as a competition and it’s a pleasurable experience.

      Maybe introducing driving lessons on the read and done by professionals all over the world would already change a lot. That and the introduction of better road systems like roundabouts, reducing road traffic by adding public transport and walkable/bikeable area’s etc.
