The whole problem with the "but everyone makes mistakes" mentality is that some people actively tempt fate on a constant ongoing basis. They aren't just making mistakes. They demonstrate a pervasive pattern of recklessness. They aren't just "screwing up occasionally". They are screwing up constantly and it's only because of the vigilance of other drivers that there aren't even more accidents and fatalities.
It's similar to how some companies approach how their products are engineered.

And you've missed the point another person made. The MAJORITY of drivers believe they are BETTER than average. In other words, a lot of them just have to be fooling themselves. And it's a well-known psychological phenomenon that, given poor feedback (which is inevitable given that most drivers ride solo most of the time), people over-estimate their abilities.
Make EVERYONE attend a training school every couple of years, where they are scored on a statistical deviation basis (like IQ - average is 100, SD is 15, results massaged to fit) and driving standards would probably improve dramatically. Just by telling people the results - no coercion required!
Cheers,
