Americans still don't know how to drive

| Bad driving in America... care to go for a swim? |
A recent study conducted by an insurance company revealed that more than 1 out of 5 Americans (that's ~36.9 million) are not fit to drive and would fail a driving test today. Now that is scary!
Here is a quick summary of what the study revealed:
- 85% of surveyed drivers did not know what to do when approaching a solid yellow light
- only 1 in 4 knew safe following distance
- avoid young people, women and drivers from Northeast
- 27% of women failed the test
- 13.6% of mailes failed the test
- the worst place to drive is in Washington, D.C.
- the best place to drive is in Wyoming
- drivers from Midwest did the best
- drivers from Northeast did the worst
- elderly, between the ages of 60-65 had the highest average score of 80.3%
I find it ironic that a car nation such as ours would even have this problem. After all didn't we create the car culture? Didn't we invent the concept of a drive-through? Proportionally we have more people driving in this country than anywhere else in the world and we still don't know how to drive? Shouldn't we then be more or less the best drivers? This is weird! Our children start driving at an early age. Many teenagers drive their own cars to school. Most people spend some amount of time in their cars on a daily basis while going to and from work and we still don't get it?

This is how everyone should be driving!
Check out Ken Block's Gymkhana practice. Honestly this is how everyone ought to drive. And I personally refuse to go grocery shopping unless I can get there sideways!
gym·kha·na [jim-kah-nuh] - Also called autocross, a competition in which sports cars are timed as they travel on a closed, twisting course that requires much maneuvering.

Jeremy Clarkson and Stig of Top Gear put Ariel Atom through it's paces... need a face lift?
And if that wasn't enough there is now an even faster V8 version...
