    No, seriously, V's NPC drivers are even worse than IV's ones. I remember those good old times playing VC and SA, that was perfect traffic. Everybody stops right behind you and can wait forever. Nobody tries to overtake you, to push you, omg, that f*cking Rage engine ruined the 'being the part of the city' gameplay. If you're not in a car and just stay and watch them, everything is cool. But when you're driving, it is like a nightmare. They hit you from every direction. The only two problems with traffic in IV were NPCs crashing into you from behind sometimes and pushing you over after 4-5 seconds staying behind you. I thought that IV's traffic AI is horrible, but V's one is THE WORST ever.

    P.S. This regards only those players who like to drive peacefully ometimes, following rules of the road, stopping at red light etc., i.e. being a part of the game world. I've always enjoyed it in VC and SA. But since IV, it is not possible anymore.. :(

    P.P.S. Rockstar, you're absolute f*cking morons.

    Definately and I'm sure everyone that plays GTA V agrees with you. I've noticed that it's almost 100 times worse when your doing a mission or a new CEO export mission. The drivers just drive straight into you for no apparant reason. It's extremely annoying with the vehicle export missions where the cars have to be delivered in pristine condition.

    This is a very fun video to watch like you say,but I am really glad I do not have to deal with this kind of traffic and bad drivers in real life. I could see the game would make you be at wits end -all of the time but it still seems like a lot of fun to me. They really should follow some kind of road safety laws though with this game, to make it seem more realistic-but it seems this kind of driving could burn you out quite fast ?

    I don't think that they care about the traffic in GTA games as in no one really follows the rules in the game. You only drive good in GTA if you are bored and even then you will stop following the rules after the minute or two. They were more focused on different things in the game, and focusing in the AI would just make some other things bad.

    I disagree. GTA San Andreas driver a.i was FAR worse. Trying to drive at high speed through the countryside was an especially infuriating experience, as the a.i very often crashed into me or another car.
