Stop talking on your cell phones, eating food, and playing with yourselves while driving. Drivers training is probably the greatest factor in our inability to drive safe (especially in America). A 2 week crash course in traffic lights and signs and a 15 minute drivers test is pathetic. We basically just give drivers licenses away for the annoyance of sitting in long DMV lines and the struggle with incompetent DMV workers. Slowing down is great for urban areas and I am all for it, but it is not a solution and should not be praised as the save all for pedestrians and/or other bad drivers. There are many other factors and issues that need and should be addressed. This is great advertising, but driving slower does not make you a better driver, nor does it increase your attention span.
