Am i getting old or what ?, here is the scenario;

Im approaching a single lane Bridge over a Canal, controlled by permanent Traffic lights, as i approach i prepare to stop, then stop as they change to Red, I am at a standstill, suddenly a so called driver from directly behind me overtakes me and goes right over on a Red light The driver at the opposite end of the bridge is forced to wait, then as he comes over he Flashes his lights and waves his thanks.

Is it just me ? or am i right in thinking the Driving Standards these days are worse than they have ever been ?.
