Its my NSHO most drivers today exhibit two major faults leading to many of their other actions.

First, they view daily driving as a competitive venture. It isn’t. Its a co-operative one. Unfortuately, the “advantages” of the competitive style are immediately gratifying.

Two, they most generally operate with their eyes at “resting focus”, which in this era of largely indoor living means about 20’. This means every traffic change, construction site, and car suddenly “flash into view” as it penetrates the barrier of their “personal space”.

My pet peeve is drivers’ speeding up as you pass or passing drivers perching in my blind spots for extended periods even as I’m approaching slower traffic in my lane. >PS
