There's more three letter acronym electronics on vehicles these days than you can shake a stick at the whole purpose of which is to control and brake the vehicle if the driver hasn't the capability or nous, despite these things and the unarguable increases in vehicle performance handling and braking competence every single day people are smashing into each other and turning the vehicles over on perfectly straight roads where everyone is going in the same direction, maybe those same systems and automation itself has deskilled drivers.
The average driver could not cope with the responsibility of driving on unrestricted roads, too many slower vehicle drivers cannot judge the approaching speed of other vehicles and pull out regardless even if they've bothered to look and apply any judgment, the speed queens themselves unable to work out where it might be safe or the conditions right to put some speed on, you only have see them perform in slippery conditions or a car park or tight housing estate where mutiple hazards are obvious, not a clue about appropriate speed.
Yes there are competent road users out there, but as is the established norm here lowest common denominator rule applies, because some incompetent clot can't judge anything for themselves it is assumed that no one can...this attitude is systematically destroying business etc in this country and its getting worse, but regarding the roads people prove time and again they can't be trusted so the state applies rules.
