Is it just me, or have people suddenly lost the ability to not only follow speed limit signs, but to drive in general? No turn signals, speeding, going 10 under the speed limit, cutting people off at 60mph again without a signal, and the biggest one of all...NOT knowing how to drive through a roundabout that has clearly posted signs showing how to go through and a YIELD sign....NOT a STOP sign. I find myself getting more and more frustrated every time I leave my house, solely because people can't drive. It's not just 16 year olds with their new license in hand, or the 80 year olds with a newly renewed license. It's everyone in between as well. People, get off your cell phone for the 10 minute drive you're taking, learn to use your left hand and hit your turn signal...even if only for 5 seconds, just to warn others. Go the speed limit, not over, not under. Less accidents, less pissed off people, happy city!
I have to agree with you. There was an episode on Mythbusters that experimented with a road course driven by someone unimpaired, someone just under the legal limit for DUI and someone talking on a cell phone. The cell phone driver performed worse than the almost drunk one, even though they both failed. Technology is good, but sometimes we cannot adjust to it fast enough.
