      Oh they definitely did.

      Before the pandemic, I’d see one or 2 highly questionable moves in a drive.

      Now it’s like a dozen.

      I see people making lefts on red, cutting off semi trucks, weaving in and out of traffic, driving with absolutely no lights at night, and my god the speeding.

      A few years ago it was normal to see people doing like 5 miles an hour over the limit, now it feels like half the people want to do 10 or 15, even on surface streets.

      I wonder if it’s that most people drove less during the pandemic, the fact that cops around here were told to only pull people over if they were a direct threat to the public, or if the social isolation just made some people way more self centered. But driving has definitely gotten worse since the pandemic.

        right? it’s like the general public collectively lost their mind. people don’t seem to care about living it seems.
