I don't know that drivers are actually worse overall now than pre-covid, drivers were pretty bad then too. Spring 2021 and 2022 basically turned into Mad Max for a couple weeks though.

Whats the worst is when you get these trucks that are going relatively the same speed, and then one truck sees a car trying to pass and then decide for no good reason to overtake the truck in front of it. Maybe they're playing traffic cop and they don't want a car going fast or some poo poo IDK. But whatever broke brained poo poo it is, they switch lanes and go like .1mph faster than the other rig, so it takes a total of like 15 minutes to overtake the other truck, blocking both lanes. The net result is they get to their destination like 0 minutes faster or slower and lose or gain 0 dollars for getting their payload to its destination and minute or two slower/faster. Maybe it's like some gearing/fuel efficiency thing. But if that's the point of it, they should increase the national average from 55mph, which was derived from a FUEL EFFICIENCY model, when most cars had like 3 on the tree or 4 on the floor. Most modern cars get optimum fuel efficiency between 70 and 80 mph on open stretches nowadays, and going slower is costing people money now. Nobody drives the actual speed limit until they spot a cop on the highway, like anywhere anymore. Blocking the whole road actually is considered false imprisonment in a lot of places now, and it's like, if you wanna pass, you gotta hit the gas. You don't just get to drive in the passing lane all the time at 2mph over the speed limit because you have an expensive car or some poo poo, which is the mentality of a lot of people. It's like a shot to their ego to just coast in the slow lane, like they literally view the passing lane as the "privileged" persons lane now, not the actual "I want to drive faster" lane. It would be like walking amongst the donkeys and gypsy caravans for them to drive in the regular lane or something. And now they can get pulled over in a lot of places for doing that poo poo so GOOD.

My favorite thing is when I get into the left lane to pass and someone gets right up on my rear end, then as soon as I move back over they ease up and fall behind, until the next time I have to pass someone at which point they will speed up and get right up on my rear end. So when I get back over I let up a little bit so that they'll just fuckin pass me and they actually slow down even more, until the next car I need to pass when they will get right up on my rear end...
