    any driver with just half a brain and some small remainder of decency

    Those are getting more scarce too.

      Unfortunately, they do. People seem to think because of all the assistance systems in modern cars, they don’t need to pay attention anymore. My daily commute on a narrow country road with largely no centre line has become a harrowing adventure in the past couple years. Idiots are increasingly driving in the middle of, or even on the wrong side of the road. These days even a solid centre line is becoming a mere suggestion.

        The worst thing the car industry ever did was turn our vehicles into mobile living rooms.

        I still stand firm that driving should be mildly uncomfortable and loud with the intention of keeping you focused.
