The absolute mental destruction the school system has wrought on kids for the last few decades is starting to get apparent on the roads these days.
I've legit seen what looked a 20-something woman crash their car into a post trying to turn from a stoplight. Nothing around, just incapable of navigating a normal bend from stopped. I don't even think they were chemically influenced at the time, they looked alert when they got out, they're just that useless.
I don’t understand all the kids not interested in driving at all. I’m not talking NYC or some place like that, I mean places where driving is the only way around. Yeah, they are mostly females, but still. When I was that age, driving was freedom. We couldn’t wait to drive for anything from not having to ride the school bus to being able to go places freely. I suspect it’s partly about getting everything they want already. Driving and a job opened up the infinite amount of things my parents would have said no on to being in the realm of possibility.
And as I think I first saw on Top Gear, if you’re not interested in driving, of course you’re not any good at it. Probably on the hilarious Peugeot episode.
I suspect it’s partly about getting everything they want already.
Personally I chalk most of it up to them being both anxiety crippled wrecks and useless retards. Driving is too complicated and stressful for their hamstrung mental capacity, so their anxiety avoidance kicks in and they run away from the prospect.
