Slow drivers need to learn how to drive safely without pretending that their insecurities become everyoneś problem.
Especially in large cities where there are a pletora of alternative ways to move around.
> That's really the root of the safety problem that is big powerful cars.
It is not.
In Rome, where there are around 27 thousands car crashes every year, the number one cause of accidents is distraction.
Most of them happen at low speed.
The second is driving under the influence.
The third is road conditions.
Last comes speeding.
Driving under pressure because you don't feel confident behind the wheel is like DUI, you make mistakes and cause crashes.
Too many people obtain the driving license without having the necessary skills to handle the traffic flow of a large city.
