There are some drivers I know that are downright scary. I hope the
certification process would eliminate some of those from actually getting
a certificate.

Even restricting the survey to experiences described in this very newsgroup,
there is ample evidence of identically scary pilots. Many of us (most or
all of us, more likely) have personal knowledge of identically scary pilots.

The certification process does eliminate SOME of those drivers you know who
are downright scary. But not because they are scary; mostly it's just
because they aren't committed enough to finish.
