It is that dichotomy between that reality of what motorists really do, compared to what engineers expect them to do, that is the real head slapper for anyone watching traffic.
Can't deny that. People misbehave. That's human nature.
Engineers even place concrete barriers in between automotive lanes to prevent cars from driving into each other, so to think that they would do the same for others, isn't such a stretch
