Drivers

So I've come to realise that there are a lot of drivers in my hometown that, although they know how to make a car stop and go, they don't know how to actually drive.
The simple task of using a junction, whether leaving them or entering them, is beyond the majority of Irvine drivers.
Using a roundabout is also challenging to them. As are pedestrian crossings, amazing how many drivers I see flying over zebra crossings when there's people waiting to cross.

Is this an worldwide phenomenon?
