To wonder what the heck is with people these days

I've had a very frustrating day driving around today.

This morning someone overtook me at a set of traffic lights as I was waiting to turn right. Just drove around a queue of us and zipped across when there was oncoming traffic. My husband and I were gobsmacked.

Then there someone trying to cross a busy high street 6ft away from a zebra crossing. Use the crossing fgs!

Someone who got out their car roadside on the same narrow busy high street, then stood there staring at their phone whilst the traffic their side came to halt as they were basically stood in the way.

Then someone who was too impatient to wait for me to overtake a cyclist (I couldn't as they were approaching a traffic island so not enough room) just drove on the other side of the traffic island on the wrong side of the road to get past us both. I was again gobsmacked, especially as it was the second piece of very cheeky driving I experienced today.

Not long after that someone cut me up at a roundabout because they were in the wrong lane, then proceeded to start overtaking the cars in front of them who had stopped at a zebra crossing, terrifying everyone crossing, to then turn right just before said crossing into a car park EXIT.

What the heck is wrong with people?!

Driving standards in the UK are appalling. People are as a rule impatient and angry.

I had someone drive me off the A3 yesterday as they was in a road rage incident. I had to pull fast onto the hard sholder as they pulled into my inside lane at 70mph. I almost turned my car over. I got my son to record them on the phone as they was getting up the arse of a car and braking 2 metres behind it. Going into all 3 lanes doing this. I thought he was trying to kill the other driver.

Passenger sitting their expressionless like nothing was going on. Fucking arseholes. I really need a dashcam. Didn't have the bit of them just pulling into my lane parallel to me or I would shown the police.
