A driverless car can't be worse than 1/2 the morons out there

Is it me, or is it getting worse out there? A majority of drivers don't signal. When they turn, they cross the opposite lane so badly that it's necessary to stop 20 feet before an intersection. They pull out into oncoming traffic with nowhere near enough time to safely do so. I go through yellow lights because if I don't I could easily get hit by the car behind me flooring it. The design of some rigs, of even some oversize SUVs is so massive, it's impossible to see around them or over them, thus losing vision of road signs and entrance ramps. There are increbile blind spots, some because of the neck supports and other safety features.

I used to love driving. Now it's just not as much fun as it used to be.

True, that.

We have noticed a real decline in driving abilities. People used to take pride in their driving skills and knowledge; but in our area now, many people never use turn signals, always block intersections, haven’t figured out a 4-way stop - and THE DAMN CELL PHONES have almost gotten us killed a couple of times.

No, driving isn’t much fun anymore.
