No, I think I'm giving them less credit. What I'm saying is that my guess is that most people are probably marginal drivers in a smaller car with a low center of gravity & good weight distribution. Put them in a pickup or SUV, which they try to drive exactly as they would a normal car, and that puts them over the line from barely adequate to not nearly good enough.

After all, there are reasons why your ordinary driver's license doesn't qualify you to drive semis.

Still don't see the reasons for the 3x... neither did Wenzel and what-his-name.
Nor can I do more than guess at the reasons, but that doesn't mean the 3X difference isn't real.
