Georgia is one of the most car dependent states in the country.
The main problem is, it's also likely one of the easier states to get a driver's license in (a lot of southern states are like this in my experience and I've held a driver's license in 5 states).
So I agree (to a certain point) with people who think these drivers should learn to drive. But, I also recognize that 1. we are unlikely to fix that problem in a timely manner for a state ranked 5th most car dependent in the states. A lot of people will die or be grievously injured while we get all those drivers who pose a risk to themselves and others properly trained.
- We can do something to better protect the cyclists using bike lanes. But, making it more hazardous for them in the name of protection ain't it.
