Why do people get stupid

Comments

You know, its funny. I was reading this blog, and I agree with a lot of it. I say all the time that people are stupid on the roads. They cut in and out and they make driving pure hell for the rest of us who are patiently waiting at the back of the line of traffic. Problem is, they aren't the people getting in the accidents. It's people like me. Call me stupid, call me whatever you want, but that is why they are called accidents for a reason. It takes one person to miscalculate something for an accident to happen. It isn't something they chose. According to The Herald there was black ice on the Calf Robe bridge, so no matter how carefully someone was driving they still could have been in an accident. So are they all stupid? There are probably a number of vehicles involved that WERE driving too fast and WERE being unsafe, but a lot of them probably weren't. They were just driving the same road they drive every day, seeing the same sign warning that the bridge ices thinking 'I hope it isn't iced up tonight, and I hope I get home alive'.

I just figured I would give another side, from the perspective of an accident-prone person. So sign me up for Nevada!! ;)
