I think it has a lot to do with the general decline in driving etiquette, and an increase in the number of people on the road.

There was a time when, if you missed a turn you went around the block to correct the mistake. Now most people just stop and U-turn it or cut across multiple lanes of traffic.

It also has a lot to do with the evil that is the modern cheap cell-phone. Ten years ago, a cell was bulky to carry around and exspensive to use. Now the first thing people do when they hop in the car is get on the phone and call up someone to yak with, diverting their precious few brain cells from the task of operating the car. One of the kids that works here is on the phone EVERYDAY as he gets into his car. I have never seen him behind the wheel and not on his phone.
