Professionals can not drive?

I started this blog with a posting on traffic behavior. See 'Cars are flock animals'.

Actually it is not necessarily cars whose behavior goes beyond all comprehension. It is mostly vans, trucks and other 'professional' vehicles. Like in the picture below, taken at the speed of 100 km/h on one of the main roads leading out from Helsinki.


I discussed the matter with a colleague of mine, and he saw nothing unexpected in it:
Vans are driven by young men, boys almost; They have no understanding yet of laws of physics, or traffic psychology. The vans are not their own; It doesn't matter to them if the van gets damaged. And they must show that they are macho men.

Maybe so. Yet these boys have agreed to common game rules when getting their driving licenses. When continuously breaking the game rules, they show that they are not up to their profession, and they should lose their licenses.

But the police, whose job it is to control that rules are respected, do not care. Are they too young boys, with not enough wits for their job?
