3 issues. 

 Pedestrians don't act like a car can hurt them.  Doesn't matter if you are "right"  this isn't victim blaming it's reality.

It is way to easy to get and maintain a licence.  People don't actually know how to drive and they don't know WHY they are doing something / why it's important.  

Police focus on the wrong behaviour.    Speeding isn't the most dangerous thing on our roads.  Unpredictability is, not telegraphing your movements and not signalling is far worse then speed.  We are letting drivers of the hook and they aren't communicating or acting as is they are on the road with others and they NEED to communicate.  If they had this mindset / approach there would be a shift.  

Everything is always geared to the lowest common denominator.  Enough with that, raise the level of our drivers.  Pretty soon all the speed limits will be dropped to 20 K, because people will need to be protected from their own stupidity.
