And what country is that? Just kidding.
I think the main problem is lack of driver education. It's pretty obvious that just
because someone can parallel park doesn't mean they are good drivers. In my opinion
the drivers test should include highway and interstate driving as well as city
driving, but of course that would take too much time and cost too much.
