You relate experiences I have nearly everyday on my 50+ mile commute.

We are, in the US at least, are extremely afraid to teach people to
drive (or to expect them to be at least competent to a reasonable
level). It's a shame, and IMHO, this is what stands in the way of
higher speed limits and other general driving rule common sense. We
have least common denominator'ed driving and I don't see it changing
anytime soon.
