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?
Not to that extreme as you've mentioned, but there's a decline in defensive driving in the past 10 years as I and multiple people have noticed in the Netherlands. Back then it was your typical stereotype to view a BMW 3 series driver as a jackass who like he owned the road, now everyone does. I often see people doing dumb stuff behind the wheel, for example texting or watching some shit live (F1) while driving a Mercedes Sprinter van..
