[quote=Anonymous]It seems to me that there are a lot of common themes i see on the road with drivers that are frustrating (but correctable) to me and nothing seems to be done about it.

First example there is clearly a push for the zipper merge by the way new signage is changing but most drivers dont seem to understand it.

Another is the increased usage of traffic circles, and people seem to be unable to use them correctly without constant accidents, especially the ones with two lanes.

And finally I constantly see drivers going full speed through intersections when the stoplights have a power outage rather than treat them as a four-way stop (MD driver here, dont know other states laws on that).

The question is, has it ever been proposed to have mandatory driver refresher training modules periodically to help keep drivers educated on new laws or trends they want to encourage, or to fix problem areas where drivers tend to make a lot of errors?  These could be online and also available at MVA sites.   Would this help make a difference when lack of understanding is the general problem rather than people who just simply dont care about road safety?  Seems like it would be beneficial, and I imagine there is a reason its not happening, like lack of funding?[/quote]
