Accidents are from complacency not ability to pass a test.

  I would argue complacency + selfishness + a small amount of ignorance. Some people really do not know that you shouldn’t get in the left lane unless you plan to pass a vehicle or want to drive faster than your current lane. A lot of people know you shouldn’t tailgate or cut people off or smash the accelerator just so you can smash the brakes 10 seconds later when you get to the red light or stopped traffic that was clearly visible, but don’t give a shit because when they’re in control of a car they feel entitled to drive however the hell they want.

  Depends on the type of test (book, practical, etc). If someone is complacent, then they likely were complacent when preparing for the test (didn't study, no drivers Ed course, etc). A reasonable test can weed out those complacent people who don't care to know or follow the law/instructions.

    The simple counter example is how many people phone and drive when they were able to abstain during the test.

      But is that complacency born out of ignorance in at least some cases? More thorough testing could help in those cases.
