Inattentive/ bad drivers are becoming more prevalent

[Bretrick]

Yesterday I twice observed drivers going through red lights forcing the correct driver to stop lest a collision occurred.
Today, on a suburban street, an oncoming car was heading directly for me and had to swerve severely to avoid hitting me.
I need to become even more cautious to avoid becoming a statistic.

Whilst driving yesterday, I was in the outside lane (nearest the gutter) when this other car tried to push in front of me to get
into my lane, (no indicator light showing). I blasted him with the horn and the car behind me did the same. This idiot didn't
show any indication I was there, lucky I slowed down to let him in, and I looked to see where he was going, and it was into
the driveway of the local hotel. He could have caused two accidents.

I think it's far worse in America

I can drive anywhere at anytime and see more traffic violations than I have the ability to document. If the police would make any effort on enforcing traffic laws, no city or county would ever have a lack of funds for anything.

Also yesterday, on a suburban street, I was behind a woman who was driving 15 km below the speed limit, constantly, every few seconds, looking left and down to the passenger seat.
Eventually I had enough and pressed my horn for more than 10 seconds.
F*cking people like this deserve a smack in the chops

IMO it’s all a symptom of the world we live in.

It’s all about me…if you don’t get caught, it didn’t happen…we need law enforcement to protect us from the other guy…

I notice it when I’m out for my morning walks and the school drop off parents are in the neighborhood, they seem to be rushed and distracted to the point that they become dangerous to anything in their path.

These same people would be shocked at similar unsafe behavior towards their children and would all be quick to tell you what excellent drivers and fine upstanding members of the community they are.
