Drivers Ed


I little quote I found from a funny new book. Check it out.

Recent studies have revealed that most drivers, when asked to compare themselves to "average drivers," inevitably answered that they were better than that. The reason for this imbalance in perceptions of average proficiency may be the widespread condition called "metacognition," meaning we are incapable of realizing how unskilled we are.
