Are there really that many terrible drivers out there?
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.
Yea and no.
There are a lot of drivers on earth. We are talking about hundreds of millions, quite possibly even billions of drivers. Even if only 1% of all of them are bad drivers, it is is still a lot.
You will also only see videos of bad drivers because filming a good or even a normal driver is just boring. A guy parking normally, respecting the speedlimit etc. will never go viral. Mind the bias !
