You think then I'd be allowed to do something about it? I can see it now. We start with drivers. A pogrom against drivers who refuse to signal lane changes and turns, drivers who divide the speed limit by 2 and add 10% of their IQ to figure out how fast to drive, drivers who wait forever to come out of shopping mall exits while there are no cars around, until you get close, then swing out in front of you, drivers who enter an intersection when the cars on the other side are backed up so that they end up sitting in the middle of the intersection when the light changes. When that's all done, then we re-evaluate to see if there are enough people left to be concerned about. My guess is not.
