I can agree with the article that the drivers are the biggest part of the problem. Your response echoes my observations.

Over five decades I've seen people lose the skills and judgment to drive well and safely under any conditions.
Driving ain't all that hard but it takes a bit of thinking and preparation to do it well.
One more reason I am glad to be off the roads more often than not.
