Are people getting worse following the rules of the road in Metro Vancouver?

Advice πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈπŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ

I was just thinking that there seems to be more impatient drivers to me in the past few years. People driving in the parking lane to get to the front and speeding + cutting in front of all the people in the proper lane at the intersection. More people continuously going back and forth lane to lane without signalling.

Just looking at 4-way stops, I see people not waiting their turns a lot more now. Occasionally I even see people just go once the car in front of them goes through the intersection instead of seeing if there's anyone else their who actually waited their turn. I nearly got t-boned by someone doing this. Or people not letting the person to their right go first if 2 vehicles arrived at the intersection at the same time. Are people just paying less attention? Don't know the rules? Because some of these people are yelling acting like they're in the right when they're 100% breaking the rules.

I can only guess some people are getting more impatient with all the crap happening in the world in recent years. Not that it justifies some of the crappy attitudes and unsafe driving habits.
