ppl just choose not to be responsible

you should look into some common causes of car accident, which include:

rain
night driving
design defects
ice
snow
tire blowouts
fog full list

cars are safer than theyve ever been

no (nbcnews article)

overall, my position is the same as yours: the average driver is WILDLY unfit to operate a multiton chunk of metal on a daily basis.

however, it is wildy unrealistic to hope against hope that one day, every driving person will wake up and realize that they should drive safe. there has to be systemic effort, whether thats reduction in cars, increase in mandatory car training or increased access to public transport, in order to see systemic improvement.
