Considering the number of accidents after major storms I think your overstating the case.  People are bad drivers in <i>all</i> conditions.<p>The problem with driving is you have to consistently do it well.  You can make zero mistakes 99.99% of the time and be a terrible driver.  One accident per 10,000 minutes would be ~one accident <i>every year</i>.  Worse, a lot can happen every minute, so it&#x27;s closer to not messing up for 600,000+ seconds.<p>The only reason people can drive is we build in very wide  tolerances.  ex: Car lanes are far wider than strictly necessary, you can fit ~2 cars in the average lane.  Traffic lights have a significant delay where they are all red etc.
