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?
I’ve seen an increase in stupid driving. People driving under the speed limit, changing lanes into the passing lane and then GOING THE SAME speed as the car they’re trying to pass. Driving as if they’re the only person the road without any thought about traffic flow or others on the road.
Basically it’s like the great majority of the populace is out of practice because they didn’t drive for 3 years and now only do it when they’re out for recreation.
Now at night it’s a whole different scenario and there’s a lot more reckless driving going on.
