It's not the average person's stupidity you need to worry about.
It's the exceptionally stupid that give average idiots a bad rap. We're all average idiots every once in a while. The exceptionally stupid are the reason they put warning labels on chainsaws. The exceptionally stupid will ruin your entire day without ever interacting with you.
The average idiot might miss his exit, even shoot across a lane at the last second to make it. The exceptionally stupid will careen across 4 lanes of traffic at the last second and cause a 3 car pile up behind him, realize it was the wrong exit anyway and get back on the interstate going the wrong direction.
We are lucky when the wake of destruction following the exceptionally stupid catches up to them, if only because it slows them down long enough for us all to move on.
