Yep. It is why simply learning how to drive these days isn't enough. Defensive driving is just as important if not more. Not necessarily speaking about the Berman tragedy per say, but there are some REALLY terrible drivers out there who clearly have the "it could never happen to me" mentality. I see young kids swerving in and out of traffic on regular roads like they are in the Daytona 500 and there is NEVER a cop there to teach them a life lesson. 

 

I just hope and pray that when my kids start driving in 12 years, they have mostly perfected self driving cars.

 

Awful tragedy, but I couldn't post without asking.... what in the hell is an 87 year old doing with a valid drivers license?
