Huh? You think the average Joe driving down the highway is operating at over 
9/10ths? Most people are 
barely paying attention to their driving. How could they drive at 9/10ths and 
barely pay attention at the 
same time? They jabber on cell phones, read books, apply makeup, and seem to do 
everything except what 
they are supposed to be doing. Concentrating on their driving and the traffic 
around them. More likely they 
are only using 5% of their skill and that's the real problem.
