WHAT is up with drivers lately???????
OMG people just flat out can't drive anymore!!!!!!!
I have a 3.0 mile commute to work. That's it. You think, hey, that's awesome! What could go wrong in 3 miles?
I'll tell you.... PEOPLE!!!!!!
In the timeframe of about a week, I've had 2 different drivers come to a complete stop in the road for no apparent reason!!!!!!!!!! Just stop!
And then there's the same drivers and others doing 15 under the speed limit!!!!!
Seriously, if you are that afraid then perhaps you should not be driving.
ARGH!

Or hogging the left lanes going less than the posted speed limit, and merging or turning without looking. Out of all the states/countries I have driven in, Destin, Florida and Huntsville, Alabama are the worst I’ve seen.

The issue is people don’t care about others anymore just about what they are doing...

Which is generally texting or talking on the phone...
We were literally just having that conversation here at work yesterday and this morning about how bad drivers are lately.
Crazy maneuvers just to get 1 or 2 spots ahead in traffic, passing on shoulders, and yes - the white-knuckle-going-15mph-because-it-snowed/will snow/any weather.
My biggest pet peeve lately is people driving in crummy weather/pitch black with no lights on. The other day it was overcast and freezing rain (followed by a good snow of big fat snowflakes), I'd say maybe 20% of cars had lights on. Had a driver following me the other morning at 6am on an unlit road with no lights on (not even DRLs). I tried every sequence of blinking lights at her, completely clueless.
I know it'd drive enthusiasts crazy, but for the vast majority of civilian drivers out there - I think Automatic headlights should stay on until the car is turned off if: The wipers are used or the light sensor turns the lights on (no more on/off going under bridges/tunnels). Or even they just are always on when the switch is in the auto position. Sorry - Rant: /off.

Re: WHAT is up with drivers lately???????
It didn't seem like either person who stopped in the middle of the road were on a phone.... they seemed genuinely concerned that something was going to happen to them!!!!!
I agree with everyone's statements here.... no lights, no turn signals, driving like they are terrified, hogging the left lane.... it's all makes me want to give up and not drive anymore! It's so difficult as someone who actually enjoys driving their vehicle to ENJOY driving their vehicle anymore. People seem to just think of cars as appliances and are just annoyed to have to get in it and drive- it's an inconvenience.

And earlier this week my coworker was sitting at a light in the left turning lane..... someone going straight drifting into his lane and hit him head on.
This was 5 days after he bought a brand new Rubicon JL. No news yet if they are totaling his vehicle.
