Unsurprising if you have noticed the way (I am going with 10-15%, unsubstantiated speculation) of people drive these days:

-Running red lights

-Not stopping at stop signs

-Driving way too fast for the street/road they're on

-Passing when you're not supposed to (single/double yellows)

You can chalk it up to decreased enforcement. Maybe that will help. The tradeoff is potentially more high speed chases and increased police encounters.

Honestly, it's just a lack of decency and common courtesy. It's like people who litter or don't pick up their dog's poop. I don't know how you fix it. It's a symptom of a decaying society, that we cannot count on each other to do the simple things correctly.

Are you in California? Just curious as this is the experience in LA but didn't know how widespread nationally things have deteriorated.
This is all the case in Denver as well.
