Another thing that amuses me is the way a lot of these "lapses" people make are tolerated only when they are driving an automobile. If anyone makes a mistake in their professional life that costs someone their life (or costs someone their money in my profession), they can expect at the very least to have to account for it, yet when people are driving it is just accepted all too easily, especially when one considers the number of deaths caused by these "accidents".

It's interesting that only this evening I was riding in one of those "blinded" situations (as it seems to occur on a section of my ride home from work each day), yet it's far from the most troublesome part of my daily ride.

How long will people continue to dance around the issue of driver accountability?
