That's sad, having been in a wrong way driver accident that killed 3 people. My best friend, his fiancé, and the wrong way driver, poof dead....
Working road construction, I see more than jus the news. This happens regularly, I'd hazard, weekly or more often just in one city.
As mentioned, it's many factors. Age, alcohol, drugs, following bad gps directions, missing a "do not enter" sign at head to head freeway on and off ramps, or just generally being at the bottom of the IQ chart.
While I personally find it to be an almost impossible mistake to make, especially for any distance, we've all turned the wrong way on a one way street or similar, but not being able to recognize the error quickly and take action to correct it is what I don't understand.
99, yeah chalk it up to old age. For the rest of society, it's just a snapshot of human behavior on the lowest end.
I for one would not have issue with more intensive driving test requirements and while I'd bitsch and complain about having to spend the $ myself, I think it would help weed out "some" of the idiots on the road.
Seattle seems to have an unusually high % of sub par skill level drivers and I've seen that cause accidents. Believe me, it's not just old people that shouldn't be driving, they are a very small % of the bad driver equation.
