Why do some drivers not anticipate where other road users are?

Thank you for informing ‘RT via email’ how to drive. I have been having to deal with prats like this for years. Why does anticipation never enter into the Driving Test? Is the relationship between speed and distance ever questioned? Why was this person allowed to be loose on the Highway if he could not figure out where he should be in relation to where everyone else was on the road? Thank you for publishing the idiot's letter and for highlighting the stupid attitude that some people take onto our major highways. That they admit to it and write to you is condemnation in itself.
