Yes! A family member actually had an accident because they had “right of way” and thus just drove onwards. I no longer trusts road signs and will still look in

I no longer trusts road signs and will still look in an intersection even if, for example, there is no stop sign but I can’t see that no cars are actually coming!

Failing to yield can get you a ticket, but acting like you deserve the road can get you killed. I feel that traffic is much worse since before COVID, drivers more aggressive, etc. You have to accept that people are going to make terrible decisions and roll with it. Incidentally, we had storms knock out the power and some typically backed up intersections were moving along very well, with people being cautious but assertive, and not aggressive.

There's less of a police presence on the roads. I'm not sure why that's the case, but I have a few guesses.
