I see so many YouTube videos of people running blatantly red lights and getting in accidents or other videos of people stopped and gunning it backwards, hitting something, then they put it in drive and launch full speed forwards and hit something else. What is going through these peoples mind? I just don’t get how there is such a high quantity of these videos.

    Most people are decent drivers, but there are a lot of drivers out there. 1% of a big number is still a pretty big number. If there are 500,000 drivers in your area, and only 0.1% of them are lethally incompetent, that’s still 500 dangerously fucked up drivers on the road almost every day. That’s still a lot of really bad drivers!!

      This is also why most videos you see of incompetent drivers are from the USA or Russia and not countries like Slovenia or Singapore. A huge populaiton means that that small percentage of absolute idiots will be a bigger number.
