How is that any different than an officer saying I observed you speeding or I observed you go through that red light?
The sad fact is that many people are very poor drivers yet most people think that they are good drivers. Many people are not even aware they are doing anything wrong when they fail to signal a lane change, or signal a turn, or fail to yield the right of way when they enter a highway.
It seems to me that the quality of drivers has gone down hill over the last 30 years or so. The accident and fatality statistics do not support that because vehicles are much safer now than they were in the past and that fact has saved many poor drivers from themselves.
