Yeah, I guess addressing the skill level of the populace re driving might be considered fiddling while Rome burns to many given all of the other problems we have as a country. IMO, one of our biggest problems is that we have many politicians who care more about their own selfish agendas than about the country. One of my best friends is a native U.S. citizen who went to medical school in Sweden. He now practices primarily in Sweden, and he told me that in the U.S., drug companies sponsor seminars/junkets/trips (whatever best describes the event) to aid physicians re learning all about the drugs. He said that despite what cynics might think, that this is really helpful. He said that in Sweden, the government is so worried that the drug companies might exert improper influence on the physicians, that the system the U.S. enjoys is pretty much not allowed. He said it's good that the government cares so much about potential corruption, but that it does make it harder on the doctors to obtain all potential tools that could be at their disposal', so to speak. Can you imagine where we'd be if the U.S. government cared that much about potential conflicts of interest!....step..step..step.....okay, now off soapbox
