I know this is hard to measure statistically, but I think there has been a marked increase in people who take the wrong exit, realize this moments too late, stop on the exit ramp, and then go in reverse-- against traffic-- in an insane attempt to rectify their mistake, when they could simply drive a few hundred yards down the road and do a U-turn.
It's an ongoing war between a new height of arrogance and entitlement among people, especially those behind the wheel, and increasingly available GPS technology that makes missed turns no longer so costly. So far the arrogance is winning.
