I have really noticed a jump in the "it's all about me" mentality on the road. People don't care that they are holding up traffic by driving slower or concentrating on their phones at lights. It used to be a quick beep of the horn would get them to look up and then go, not anymore. They just continue to sit there while they finish whatever they are doing. If you try to get around someone going slow, they speed up to block you or get angry and ride your bumper after you get around.
In my mind it is a consequence of no consequences, if that makes sense. Traffic laws are barely enforced, and all one gets for causing a crash is a slap on the wrist. It was an "accident." No, it was the person driving in a dangerous way with blatant disregard for others around them. The thing is, these people don't think they are doing anything wrong. They go on social media and whine afterwards, and everyone else has to explain to them what they did was wrong/illegal.
