No wonder the road is more dangerous.
It should be compulsory for all drivers to do an advanced driving course!

I won't disagree with you about advanced driving courses, but roads now are safer than they ever have been by any measure and continue to improve. According to
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...tralia_by_year
, total fatalities, fatalities per 100,000 people, vehicles and km have been steadily declining since records began, and continue to do so. Do really you think these driver assist technologies are making the roads less safe, or are they part of the solution? If so, how?
