I think there needs to be a reeducation course for people like that, I also think that if you are involved in or cause a wreck involves a motorcycle, that your license should be suspended pending a MSC.

Take your pick of stupid:
- Changing lanes without loking, or even bothering to signal.
- Passing on the right (in countries that don't use the Queen's money).
- Following too close.
- Driving way faster than the average speed of traffic (note I didn't say speeding).
- Riding in the blind spots of other vehicles.
- Failing to secure your load properly. Seriously, strap that 500lb washer or couch down - it really will fly out of your pickup at highway speed.
I didn't include cell phone and other device useage because all of the above are what happens when you distract yourself. It's not the cell phone or the stereo - it's the inability for people to honestly do more than one thing at once, yet think they can.
