DRIVING ON, OR OFF, THE ROAD Driving to an acceptable standard comes naturally to a few, but most of us have to work hard at it. Many drivers get through the day by driving to an 'OK' standard; nothing disastrous happens, no cutting-off, no flagrant breaching of road rules, no redlight-running. However, when it comes to driving correctly (absolutely safely and legally), many drivers fall short of the mark. What are the shortfalls these people have? Examples might be: Tailgating (not observing a crash-avoidance space), failing to Giveway to pedestrians where necessary, failing to Stop completely at a Stop Sign, minimal blindspot-checking and scanning, abrupt lane-changing, accelerating toward a yellow traffic-light, fast cornering, poor compliance with road markings (particularly where these are not clearly-visible).....the list goes on. Does this all go back to Attitude? Possibly; there are several other prominent reasons why drivers fall short on performance, some of which are: Failure to Share-the-road, bad recall of and adherence to Road Rules, "I've never had an accident!"(but could have caused some!), overuse of recreational substances, poor eyesight, and so on.........
