Even with Uber you still see people who have medical or social issues go behind the wheels because nothing is stopping them from taking the keys. The lady that ran over the 2 kids had multiple past violations and was still able to drive because she believes she's privileged and nobody has the right to tell her not to drive.
I hate driving in NYC because too many ubers and slow drivers. Speed doesn't kill, it's stupidity and that you can't legislate to stop stupid people from doing stupid things and winning stupid awards.

Too bad they can't just win the darwin awards and be done with it.

It's not slow drivers.. it's the amount of cars on congested NYC roads. The real solution will be automated cars that sync up to each other and move in coordination like a car on a conveyor belt.

I have to agree with you on that. The roads are so congested - - not to mention drivers constantly (and abruptly) switch from one lane to the other. They can never stay in one spot. That's bound to cause some kind of accident. I mean, I am sure it happens everywhere. But in New York City, that's kind of scary.
I'm speculating, but I have to wonder if many of these "out of control" vehicles and accidents reported to be caused by medical issues by the driver are actually the result of overly aggressive driving. So many people seem to be on a hair trigger these days.

Doubt it, the kids slaughtered at Prospect Park were in the crosswalk and the woman had the brake on and was waiting when all of a sudden she slammed on the accelerator. That would have to be some special kind of aggressive "driving"
