I think you can blame the second part on the first.
I drive quite a lot and yes there are idiots on the road but there has always been idiots on the road.
I saw a car pull from the slip road in front of a articulated wagon tonight while travelling a lot slower than the wagon. They only do 60 so its not hard to either accelerate above 60 before joining the motorway or pull in behind him. This was not a young driver but an older bloke by the way.
As I was on the roundabout getting onto the M65 a very expensive new large car was happily cutting across his lane into mine without a thought for me.
The world is full of idiots and you just have to be aware of the dangers and do your best to stay safe.
