It is ironic. Physically operating a car doesn't require a great deal of
skill. But traffic is a dynamic system, and the one requirement for
system smoothness that crosses all boundaries is that people must pay
attention, else the system grind to a halt of its own weight. Yet,
inattention and oblivion are the constants you can find no matter where
you go.

True.

And this is accentuated when you live in an employment culture (AKA: A city
where the Gubmint is the primary employer) that exerts little pressure to
perform, or even to arrive at work on time.

No one is paying attention here because there is no reason to do so. They
cannot be fired, so why worry about being late?

For those of us who work in "The Real World" it can be incredibly
frustrating.
