It’s Mad Max out there right now. I don’t think I’ve seen a car driven more than a couple blocks without breaking at least one law since the pandemic. Constant 20 mph over the speed limit, even when the limit is 20. Barely slowing down for stop signs. Ignoring crosswalks unless doing so would kill someone, and in that case, don’t stop, just slow down a bit until the person dives out of the way. Tailgate anyone only driving 15 over. Dive from lane to lane, or even use medians, shoulders and bike lanes to pass. I’m so stressed out any time I’m not in my house. I hate it.
- avidiax 3y agoI took a couple of year break from the US; things seems to have gotten much worse. I have decades of driving experience in the US, and even I find it a difficult environment to drive in. People are just extremely unpredictable and are apparently always in a hurry if they aren't instead slyly stroking their Instagram feeds on phones nestled in their cupholders. Maybe it's worse in California, but it seems pretty bad everywhere.
- seanmcdirmid 3y agoIt’s worse today, cops everywhere aren’t enforcing traffic laws much anymore, probably due to a general shortage of cops, and drivers are getting feral. Though there are places in the USA that have always been especially bad. I have nightmares about driving in New Orleans, and Florida was always 80-85 once you hit the freeway. California, even LA, is easy mode in comparison.
