Do they make you too fast for the road?

Lets face it, most motorists have never done any training since their original test, years ago.

Here we are (motorcyclists) we love our sportsbikes, our racing and want to constantly improve our skills and technique.

So we book Trackdays, training etc, our reactions get better, our awarness and alertness is hightend and skill level goes up, as we learn to control our machines at a higher level.

Then we take our skills to a place where we are surrounded by people , who have no skill.
People who`s skill`s have dropped since their original test (all those years ago) who have never done any advanced training and yet, we a judged and measured with them.

Personally, I think the roads are getting more and more dangerous and it has nothing to do with excessive speed.

So the question is, are we just to fast for the roads? as the average standards of road users skills are so low?
