Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
My daughter drive a Honda. A month or so ago she got rear-ended on the
interstate at a construction slow down. $3000 worth of damage repair later
she got the car back last Saturday. Monday, on the way to work, she got
rear-ended sitting at a traffic light.
I can remember when the argument was between which of Italian or French
drivers were the worst in the world. US drivers have long since surpassed
both of them.
