Most peeps can't drive a car but think they can . . . Deadly!
This is a problem, most peeps say that, but always say "they" instead of "we", as though it's someone else's problem. That might well be true in your case, and please don't take this as a suggestion that your driving is below par or that you aren't constantly trying to improve, but it can't be true for everyone. The best way to improve road safety is to improve your own driving, no matter what level you're already at. If all of us did that (I'm a dreamer, I know), then it actually would improve road safety.

The very best drivers will costantly assume they are bad and try become better

It's really annoying that so many people are too immature to actually have the guts to take responsibility on their actions and resort to pointing fingers to put the blame on others and get themselves an easy escape off the hook. Despicable.

As much as a lot of these may just be some false-claims, things like this give tons of problems to the company the most because of their reputation being affected by such claims of malfunction in their products. Now it's even harder for the consumers to tell if some problems in the quality of company products are real or not when real recalls happen, and Toyota is going through it recently(censored) announces hybrid Highlander and Lexus SUVs recall[/url]). Too bad for them since they have the potential to come up with sweet rides but I don't think I can put my confidence on them right away after all these. I'd normally wait for some reviews before thinking about buying anything. Better sure than sorry.
