[quote=JABAROOTOO,249269]Thank you gentlemen for your comments which also express my thoughts on this matter.  I am appalled at the standard of not only driver training but legally licensed drivers who most probably could not command a bicycle safely let alone a car.

I'm sorry to say that I personally know a couple of such individuals who have little or no concept of turning the vehicle, cannot reverse in tight conditions and have difficultly parking in most situations.

I am constantly amused, but it is really not funny, at the way cars are parked both on and off the streets, or half in half.

But worst of all is the arrogant impatience of the majority of drivers who honk their incredibly loud horns at everything whether moving or not, without reducing their speed.

People just switch off, desensitized to the sound and totally ignore it but no one seems aware of this.

The pedestrian public is by and large also unaware of the dangers they place themselves in when climbing over fences and walking in the middle of the street, jumping out of medium strips, etc.

In rural areas, we've sped past children playing cards on the road!!!

I despair that it is a little late for the older generations but the younger generations can be educated but it must begin now and with a strong push from the government, police and other law enforcement bodies setting an example.  Unfortunately some of these are also the worst offenders on the roads.
