Human Factors
We landed and taxied to gate. Approaching the gate we cleared the area; both left and right. We made a comment at this hour we shouldn't have a repeat of yesterday's event. We were cut off by an baggage tug. We lined up on the DGS and clearing the area again I commented on a tug approaching from the left. This driver was going from our left to right. I flashed the landing light to get their attention. No doubt they saw this as it was [early morning]. I slowed down as I wasn't sure they were going to stop and flashed the lights again. They made no effort to stop or even slow down. This was the second event at DFW in 24 hours.This is a systemic problem with DFW drivers. There is zero enforcement of the rules. If they were enforced we'd not see these types of incidents happen at the rate at which they are occurring.Enforce the driving rules. This is getting worse instead of better.
