Truthfully I'd say about 60% of drivers in the States have no business behind the wheel of anything, much less the mammoth pedestrian-devouring SUVs and trucks we're such fans of. It is shocking how BAD it is getting.

I think COVID really kicked the enshittification of drivers here into a new realm. That spat where driving tests were suspended in so many places and driving school wasn't workable has let a couple years worth of drivers onto the road who had almost no practical instruction, and it fucking shows. And it's not like most people were good before that. For the vast majority, driving is a chore and you can tell that by the absolutely bare-minimum efforts put into it.
