When you drive, are you seeing an up tick in road rage? How about drivers acting like zombies and not paying any attention? I've noticed a massive up tick in both. I see it every day, I drive to work, and I'm just like WTF are people doing?! Why is everyone driving like their ass is on fire, It's a noticeable difference than say 2018.
I've seen more and more people that act like they're in a daze or act like they're the only people on the planet, oblivious to what's going on around them.
Same
Every day or every other day on the road am dodging, literally dodging, cars cutting me off without looking. People trying to merge or change lanes or simply weaving back and forth. One trip alone last week was almost ran into twice in a single 20 min drive.Its scary.
It is incredibly noticeable, particularly "late" reactions to things as well as what looks like complete mental fog. Just today there were two people that turned right from the left turn lane and 1 while first in the right lane thought it appropriate to snake on over to the left hand turn lane while waiting on the red light.
Also the amount of people "lane drifting" that I would have bet my house on them being on the phone have all been younger to middle age adults with both hands on the wheel.
I've been a car guy all my life, and have driven around for fun all of my life, but I've never seen a pattern like this.
100%. We've have a marked increase in the amount of car accidents in our city. But the biggest thing I've noticed is the road rage. The other day some guy dangerously cut me off and then yelled at me, flipped me off, and then got out of his car and threw something at my car. Other people have been flying off the handle with me at literally nothing - like me passing them while I'm in the fast lane and they're in the middle lane. It's scary honestly.
I've noticed more aggressive drivers than in the past. I live in a summer resort area, and it's pretty common in the summers here. Lately a definite increase in aggression and inattentiveness.
Holy fuck. Was just telling my wife about this exact thing and literally used the year 2018 too.

I used to live on the road doing service work and I am so glad that I retired in 2014. But I know what you are saying because when you drive a lot for work you can read the traffic and you know what is normal or not!
I see people BLATANTLY running red lights on a daily basis now. Not just squeaking through as it turns red... they're no where near the light when it goes red and they just keep speeding through.

Agree, everyone is just MAD in general. I see it on the road for sure, but even in stores and at work
Yup exactly! People are really just mad at what seems to be nothing. It's called vax brain and it's real.

This. I've totally noticed that people aren't driving as well.

check your car insurance. rates for monthly premiums have raised for 2023 by 30%-40%, this is for most of the US and all providers have raised rates.
Car insurance is getting crushed by the increase in 'sudden' car accidents

Yes I've noticed. The Vax brains are under heavy psychological and physical stress.
If you don't already have a dash cam, GET ONE!

It's called a color revolution run by china. Infiltrate, destroy and demoralize.
