Anecdotally, I have noticed other drivers are getting worse. What I've seen primarily is that everyone is driving inattentively. There are SO MANY people on their phones or even watching movies on tablets while "driving". The biggest giveaway is poor lane-keeping and signal usage, which is epidemic at least here in Texas.
People in the US are already horrible drivers by global standards, but they've certainly gotten worse in the last two years. Unfortunately, if you're one of the few people that actually pays attention while driving, not only do you notice this worsening, the fact that's its entirely by selfish choice makes you even more livid than you generally are when driving surrounded by imbeciles.
We desperately need to have actual licensing standards in this country and curtail car usage by people who should not be driving, as well as enforce distracted driving laws we already have on the books.
