A global pandemic and less driving? I'm not sure why you'd need to pick out BLM in any way here

- pyuser583 3y agoBecause, in my purely anecdotal experience, drivers got much much worse in early June of 2020. Not April 2020. Not July 2020. June (and very late May) of 2020. Part of the issue was that lots of roads were blocked. Both protestors and police were blocking roads. Large portions of downtown were shut down. Bus services were mostly canceled. And the police were very very stretched thin. So there are reasons other than “attitude” why these protests might be affecting traffic. But it was shocking how bad drivers got so quickly. It didn’t seem gradual.
