I drive fast, always drove fast, and if I'm doing 100 and come up on a bimbo box in the fastlane I'll be flashing my lights. That being said, I'll brake at a safe distance and wait them out like a dying hospital patient if they don't get the message. What I'm describing here is an old LA to Vegas 2.5 hr, radar watching mentality where you're highly aware and entirely sober and the point is low visibility and getting there in the dark, fast. Whatever has happened after covid is different. I don't think it's the frustration of lockdowns or whatever. I think people have lost a solid 10 IQ points and have had a few mm's shaved off their frontal lobes. No self control or self awareness. No sense of self preservation, (as I wrote that, outside a bar on a side street in Portland, a car just rocketed by at 70 in a 25 zone). So the knock-on effect of a lot of borderline people becoming total sociopathic assholes is that relatively responsible people like you and I start to lose our minds being surrounded by them acting like hyperactive zombies. This might be how our civilization falls - after all, it wasn't Justinian's plague that finally killed Rome, it just knocked out the last of the cultural niceties that allowed an empire to function. Whatever, this is a drunk post but feel free to deconstruct it.
