I drive a lot in the tri city area and commute for work. Is it just my perception or is peoples driving getting progressively worse? I see so much stupid shit each day, it's astounding. People driving extremely fast or slow, changing lanes or turning without signaling, driving in the left lane even though they are going slow and not passing anybody, running red lights, tailgating, going straight in turning lanes and I'm not even going to mention roundabouts... Do you guys see this or am I just thinking this up?

Specific communities in Ontario are flooded with new young Indian "students", and they are noticeably horrible on the roads. Please try to understand that those of us who have been in these communities for 20+ years notice the change.
In terms of following the law, getting genuine credentials, and general standard of work yes I'd say Canada is vastly superior to India.

That's a fun analogy. A specific community is targeted because millions of them have flooded in and caused a noticeable change in the cultural fabric. Obviously people are going to notice that difference and talk about it.
I don't care what happens in India either. I said that Indians coming to Canada should adhere to the superior standard, and they should.

Poor me? I’m not sure what you’re referring to.
No the majority of drivers are not Indian you foolish person, the majority of NEW drivers are, and the RECENT additions to the road are a factor in the RECENT changes to driving quality that OP is noticing.
This is not a difficult concept. Millions of people came from a different country all at once where the standards are different, and it shows.
I would say that the majority of bad drivers that I see personally are not visible minorities. I agree that the driving has gotten worse, but I don't blame that on the recent additions to the road.
