I noticed what traffic was on the road moved a lot quicker last summer, and there seemed to be substantially less traffic law enforcement.

I'm enjoying it but the roads are getting dangerous.

Things are back to normal around me. Traffic actually sounds heavier than normal as the weather warms.

For the first time since 2007, preliminary data from the National Safety Council show that as many as 42,060 people are estimated to have died in motor vehicle crashes in 2020.

Wow that's a lot of Covid deaths!

You'll hear news like this more often, to get us shoved into self-driving cars.

Real news for once. Drivers have been getting significantly worse since text messaging was invented. I knew this was coming.

Drivers have been getting worse as there are far more migrants these days. And they are always on their phones.

I don't know about everywhere, but I can tell you that in the Los Angeles area they have completely stopped enforcing anything. Every time I drive on the freeway I see at least a half dozen people driving 100+ weaving through traffic. Almost always idiot spics. People run red lights, drive on the shoulder, and pretty much anything they feel like doing. Not a cop in sight.
