Drivers getting worse?

I know it seems like 'other drivers' have always been bad - especially after Covid, but it seems like they are getting especially bad lately. For example, I consider myself a relatively aggressive 'drive with purpose' driver, but even I am getting honked at for doing basic things such as leaving gaps for not blocking side roads, not advancing into intersections until it's clear on the other side [edit: don't block the box!], waiting for my turn at 4-way stops, etc. While frustrating, I can (just barely) deal with the blissfully unaware left lane riding drivers, but I can't deal with people honking at others for following basic driving rules. /rant
