Drivers Don't Give a Shit About Traffic Laws in My Area

I don't even know where to begin explaining.

I haven't had a car for 15 months because I had to sell my last one to get my apartment (security deposit) so I've been taking ths bus, bike and Uber/Lyft occasionally. I need to wear a mask on the bus and hate it - I've gotten into arguments with bus drivers and other passengers about it, and even had a driver stop the bus and call the police because I refused to wear a mask. So I only ride the bus if I really need to. Most rideshare drivers around here don't give a shit about Uber/Lyft's mask policy so thankfully I don't have to worry about that.
I live close enough to work to walk or bike if I'm in a hurry - same with grocery shopping but it's a hassle in the winter because of the snow.
I finally got a beater with a heater - a 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix GT (PONTIAC: Poor Ol' Nigger Thinks It's A Cadillac) and HOLY FUCKING SHIT I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IN MY CITY BECAUSE NO ONE OBEYS TRAFFIC LAWS.

People CASUALLY rolling through red lights - the light has been red before they got to the intersection and they still go through. Regular every day commuters, city buses, SCHOOL BUSES full of kids (What the ACTUAL FUCK!) Police squad cars (no emergency) and semi trucks.

I've seen cars driving on the wrong side of the road during simple car backups at major intersections.

People are constantly on my ass on the freeway - tailgating me even when I'm doing 15 miles over the speed limit. Drivers are rude as fuck, cutting me off using the bike lane (which is illegal as fuck here) honking their horns excessively, driving aggressive, speeding through school and construction zones. Drivers are spacing out at red lights, a few times I saw single cars waiting for red lights A BLOCK AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION WITH NO ONE IN FRONT OF THEM.

The police barely do anything about it. It's like driving in China or somewhere without basic driving laws.

My nerves are wrecked every time I get behind the wheel. I don't want to admit it, but I'm kinda scared to drive now.

I should also add that car crashes are up very high in my area, I recently saw a local news report that single car crashes have quadrupled over the past year.

I think the brains of the clot shot vaxxed are rotting from the inside out.

Sorry for the rant, but I need to get this off my chest.
