I'm always looking for new ways the social contract is breaking down. It's easy to get caught up in internet drama but every now and then I like to touch grass and see what the normies are doing. One thing I've noticed is how aggressively people drive now.
This past weekend I had my whole family in the car and a Dodge hatchback of all things shoots past us at over 100 miles per hour. This was in the middle of town, not a highway. We pull up next to the dude at the next red light (because that always seems to happen) and he guns it again, going into the opposing lane of traffic to pass everyone and shoot down the road again.
I feel like I see this kind of thing more and more now. People going 60+ in residential areas and blasting through school zones. Has anyone else experienced this? Do you think it's indicative of anything or am I just an autist?
Yes. And ironically I had a girl “irl” try to defend it by blaming drivers who grew up interstate. As in, “I’m not a shit driver, you just don’t know how to drive here” (while proceeding to incorrectly describe what she thought the road rule was, because she clearly thought she knew better than the actual law, lol)…
But yes. Different country, different context, but absolutely, yes.
