    Sure, doing something a lot makes you good at it. That’s why racing drivers are fast on a course - practice.

    But what a lot of people are doing when “driving” is not really driving - it’s the act of trying to get from point A to point B while not caring how that movement actually happens. They’re texting or talking to passengers or thinking about work, or what they need to buy for dinner, trying to get on with the rest of their life despite currently being at the helm of a machine capable of killing themselves and others.

    Some people are out there not practicing driving, but practicing multitasking while thinking about the driving part as little as possible.

      Then maybe cops should be on the lookout for such things rather than sitting on the side of the road with a radar gun while they look down at their own phones.
