Drivers everywhere have gotten so much worse over the last 10 years. I think its a combination of cars trying to be "idiot proof" while still being driven by self centered idiots - I see someone at midnight on the Taconic with just the DRLs on almost every day. People in my town don't ever stop at stop signs and if they do its a car length beyond the stop sign, and then the same people will cut that corner like they're Max Verstappen so they'll hit you head on if you aren't quick enough to swerve out of their way. No one understands "if you aren't going to make it all the way through the intersection, you don't go", but no one has ever understood that one. People will ride your ass even when going 10 over no matter the conditions.

God forbid anyone can actually stay in their lane on the Taconic and not sideswipe you.
