Seems like there has been an uptick in people just cruising along in the left lane as well.

At a 3- or 4-way stop, a vehicle clearly the first to arrive will await the complete stop of a second vehicle before entering the intersection. This often means I encounter stopped vehicles at these intersections awaiting my own stopping before they proceed. This is far beyond "trust but verify" driving, considering the approach speeds are not "blow through the intersection" speeds.
Not dimming brights on rural roads for approaching traffic. Most of these folks are locals like me, with usually good manners, so what gives?
Not using turn signals when passing or lane changing. This one enrages me to no end, as I am one of the most defensive drivers I know (2 decades driving without an accident). How the fuck am I supposed to know whether you're drunk or a just a faggot?
Locals who should understand the stoplights and all the ways you can and cannot make the lights given your starting location from the previous light/intersection, speeding by me and getting caught at a red as I slide on in beside them. Sometimes I don't even have to use brakes and end up passing them again because they can't think ahead and recognize patterns.
It really kills me inside that I have to share such a dangerous public forum with low-IQ NPC-level drivers, who will have bad driving records, bad credit, shitmobiles all their lives, and in order for me to live a peaceful, injury-free accident-free life, I have to look out for their failures to act in ways that limit the chaos they rain onto the world's better people, like me.
