Because they have no respect for others let alone the law. Maybe they didn't get the signal light option on their car(lol). If the police were to get paid by piece work and get a commission for tickets they write and should write they would be rich.. . If people were to treat each other the way they wanted to be treated-with respect, wow what a world this could be.

ZYeah yeah we all deal with it daily , we are overcrowded and the DMV isnt getting tight enough on their testing. Anyone can drive nowdays. The elderly are driving when they shouldnt be, and some people who have their liscence shouldnt it a mess. Good luck and try not to let it get to you. I feel for you.

The real answer is that people these days are only worried about themselves, and not common courtesy.

Because people just don't have respect until they learn it I guess.

Most likely if they are passing you, it means that you are slowing the flow of traffic to begin with, which in turn is really what causes accidents. and you are drving below the legal speed limit. which is also a danger to the rest of who is on the road. and you are the reason why we dont increase the speed limit. which i think we should do.

Because Joe Schmo who can't drive, was taught by his father who didn't know how to drive, who was in turn taught by his father who had no IDEA how to drive, and so on, and so on, and so on. It's a never ending cycle. However, I've been involved in a push with the NTSB to require car and rv drivers get professional training for license procurement AND renewal, every two years. People aren't very bright, and they need safety beaten into their heads as often as we can possibly get away with.

The average person, these days, seems to think that their space on this earth, their time, their goals, their problems and frustrations, and their social agenda outweigh those of the people surrounding them.

Even though you're going the speed limit or maybe a little bit over...it still isn't fast enough for them.. . Drivers these days want to get to point B as fast as humanly possible. They don't care who gets in the way.. . Plus the extra seconds it will take to turn on the signal.....they could have been passed the person. Its kinda like driving on a highway....they just swerve back and forth and don't signal.
