There’s been a morning crash on the loop 202 three out of five days this week. Are we becoming worse drivers, or is this just a fluke? It seems to be an ongoing trend. I see freeway accidents with increasing regularity. I end up sounding like a moron when I get to work late and am always blaming it on traffic. Unfortunately I’m the only employee @ my company that comes in on the 202 westbound in the morning so I have nobody to corroborate my story. That brings me to another point, drivers education in this country is a complete joke. Seriously, American drivers are very ill prepared for 75mph freeway speed limits as opposed to western European drivers. We really should institute mandatory road tests every 5 years for drivers that have had more than 1 accident. In the end when I leave Phoenix I think it will mostly be because of the effects that overpopulation has on traffic.
