Ex-New Yorker. They had a program where you would take a safe driving course and save on your auto insurance. If, I recall it was like 10% off your comprehensive and ??? off something else That more than paid for the cost to take the course and was good for a couple of years. There were many others ???? about half who were there to avoid license suspension due to too many points-violations recorded on their drivers license.

Rules, it was amusing what some people think are the rules of the road. Truth we can always learn something. I recall a retired cop saying your job is to see everyone gets home safely, Not to teach others a lesson.

The law. I recall learning that postal vehicles have the right of way. Not sure if that applies to UPS, Fedex or Amazon.

The villages. Most of our driving is in residential neighborhoods. We deal with bikes, golf carts, walkers turtles, and those cranes. The cranes are truly interesting. None seem to care about rules.

In any case, THE GOAL IS FOR ALL TO GET HOME SAFELY. If, you are constantly thinking others are stupid, inconsiderate, too slow, shouldn't be allowed on the road.
Perhaps, you are the problem.
