I read an interesting article about driving. Here in Canada one gets a driving test at 16, then no further test until 80. The worst drivers are between 16 and 30, when one would think they would be the best. An instructor took his students to an intersection. They had to wait until 43 cars had passed before one stopped at the stop sign. If I drive according to the rules of the road; and if I were a traffic cop in an unmarked car, I would be passed by over 90% of drivers speeding; and I would be writing speeding tickets all day long. The answer is to spend less on building roads, and more on traffic rule enforcement, and more lives would be saved and fewer injuries sustained. It has been proven already with better enforcement in the area of drunk driving.....there! I feel better with that off my chest!

Beautiful, interesting, and some strange, photos today. It's always a treat to see what you're going to post. I agree with the safe driving, or lack thereof, on our roads. You never know what the other guy is going to do.
You're so absolutely right regarding more stringent enforcement of traffic rules. That's exactly what we desperately need in SA, too! They want to reduce our maximum speed limit from 120kms per hour to 100 and to make it illegal to drink at all before driving. While this sounds good, unless it's effectively policed, it means nothing. Bad driving looks as though it's a problem all over the world! I think it's a sign of how inconsiderate and self-absorbed humanity has become.
It is certainly a nice painting, but it is not Ballroom dancing yet. It could evolve in that but unfortunately paintings are static.
Greetings,

In the UK, we do not allow young people to drive on the roads until they are 17, but it is still the young who are the most likely to cause accidents and the price of car insurance for them is astronomical!
