Everyone on the Road Is an Idiot...

...and we have the research to prove it. A study from the University of Utah shows that 18-25 year olds on cell phones and 65-74 year olds not on the phone are 18% slower in braking (slower than what is not mentioned in the article). Norwegian researchers have found that dyslexics had 30% slower reaction times when driving than non-dyslexics in a small study. And the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that 1.5 million people were arrested for drunk or drugged driving in 2002, which works out to 1 in every 130 licensed drivers.

So it's official. You aren't imagining things. No one on the road knows how to drive.
