I’m open to the possibility that it’s just me being more aware/sensitive to how people are driving around me too. And I’m not necessarily talking about drivers I have to interact with myself but just seeing what people are doing in general.

    It might be the age of most drivers around me but they all forgot how to use turn signals, how to merge onto a highway, what a yield sign means (hint: it’s not stop) and how to anticipate that they need to merge instead of waiting until the last minute and creeping into the other lane.

    And just about every time it’s someone in a Subaru driving like they were beamed into a car and don’t know what they’re doing there.

    Oh, and just about everyone comes to almost a complete stop to make any turn.

      I’m generally fine with people stopping at yields. It slows things down, but it’s still safe. There’s actually one near my friend’s house that has hedges blocking all view of the road to the west until you’re right up on it, so I always stop at that one; can’t see if there’s anyone to yield to until you’re almost inside the intersection.

        Oh, totally. But if we can all see that there isn’t any traffic slamming to a stop at a yield is a recipe for an accident.

        Maybe they’re trying to get me to rear end them.
