Realistic Drivers

Description
Hello! This mod edits the traffic_data definition file in an effort to adjust the AI driving behavior to be more realistic.
In my game, I have noticed that AI vehicles will often go out of their way in an effort to hit you, such as slamming on the brakes, merging into you, willingly driving into you for no reason etc.
This is my edit to make the behavior more realistic, as I've found the default AI behavior to be rather immersion breaking at times, and downright frustrating. This mod was created on and will work with the 1.52 branch and will be continuously updated for new versions. Compatible with traffic density mods, and other mods can be higher in the load order than this one. Thanks and please let me know if you have any feedback :)

This is a really fantastic mod. I agree 100% about the AI traffic behavior degrading the quality of the experience of the game. I have stopped playing at times because I am sick of dealing with it. Thank you so much for this mod! You have seriously increased the quality of my game play.

I really appreciate this mod. I was getting tired of being targeted and hit by the AI vehicles. Who changes lanes and then steps on the brakes? Now it's a lot better. I wish you could do something about the slow drivers in the high speed lane; they won't move and then when you try to pass on the right they change into the right lane and cause you to hit them or try to stop. Thanks for a great mod.

Don't use with the California Roll/Stop mod. AI drivers will be 10 million times dumber and somehow also affected AI behavior at traffic lights and during freeway merging. I chose to keep the Cali mod and unsub from this.
