this is how i feel about driving. people arent likely to yell at each other and cut each other off while walking like they are driving. not that it never happens, but when im driving these days theres ALWAYS someone mad asf next to or behind me
I feel like people got worse on the road after the pandemic. Dunno why, just a feeling I got.
Oh they definitely did.
Before the pandemic, I’d see one or 2 highly questionable moves in a drive.
Now it’s like a dozen.
I see people making lefts on red, cutting off semi trucks, weaving in and out of traffic, driving with absolutely no lights at night, and my god the speeding.
A few years ago it was normal to see people doing like 5 miles an hour over the limit, now it feels like half the people want to do 10 or 15, even on surface streets.
I wonder if it’s that most people drove less during the pandemic, the fact that cops around here were told to only pull people over if they were a direct threat to the public, or if the social isolation just made some people way more self centered. But driving has definitely gotten worse since the pandemic.
right? it's like the general public collectively lost their mind. people don't seem to care about living it seems.
You sure you aren't driving poorly given that it is always someone mad right near you?
dunno what much i could be doing when im going the speed limit in the right lane. i get tailgated, honked at when stopping for yellows, cut off, etc. regularly
This is why I promote the distribution and carrying of pocket horns. We need to have more honking and flipping the bird during pedestrian interactions.
