This is a cop out; a simple sounding excuse to just throw up your hands, say "kids these days" and then go back to your armchair.
The fact is, you have a lot of problems that you're not dealing with, from stroads [1] to an increase in the worst kind of "automated" driving systems that leave people less able to remain alert for road hazards, to an unhealthy increase in inequality that leads to antisocial behavior in the pissed off underclass... you got problems. Look to some of your European and Asian neighbors if you want help with solutions.

- prawn 4y agoI don't think any of these things are primary reasons. My guess is it's more about selfish ("fiercely independent") behaviour and what you can get away with, and a lack of appreciation for rules/regulations that can (on the whole) make for a more reasonable society. The idea that there are fake plates and minimal enforcement seems ridiculous to me. (I'm Australian but have driven tens of thousands of miles in the USA.)
