What the hell is wrong with people's driving lately!
I've seen some of the worst wrecks and terrible driving as anytime I can remember. Reckless is an understatement. People on the damn phone and whatever else they are doing besides driving. Speeding is out of hand. Tailgating. Racing. Etc etc

Hence the rock and hard place.

People are terrible driving, so we need to create AV to cater for and cart their asses around.

But, automakers and tier 1 and 2 are slicing their workforce in half, because their talent won't inject a questionable substance. They're John Galting the system, and the VISAs don't even register to replace.

Brilliant. Who know that was coming?

Re: What the hell is wrong with people's driving lately!
I see idiots weaving in and out in heavy traffic doing 80+ mph. every day. Used to be once in a while, now it is every day. Seems like it would be a gold mine for the county. I recall when driving like that would get you a hefty fine and a 5 point violation, ten points being the limit to lose your license.

I have had words with some of these assholes and they all seem to be under the impression that they own the road, can drive as recklessly as they please, and it is your fault for being in their way. I blame the traffic enforcement for letting them put everyone else's lives at risk.

Agreed! It's a toss of the coin if I even make it to work alive. These people are one foot in the grave drivers and they tempt fate consistently.

You can't even get in the right lane and mind your business and drive 5 mph over the speed limit. It's like holding off a charging bull when you look in the rear view mirror. Snarling and shit.

Re: What the hell is wrong with people's driving lately!
I was wondering about this the other day so I looked up traffic crashes in Los Angeles and the data I got was unexpected. They have a graphing tool on there.

I graphed from 2018 to Oct 2021. The graph was roughly flat at 5000 per month from 2018 to the start of the pandemic. Then it went down to 2000 or so because everyone working from home, etc. After vaxx, it went up to about 3000 or so and then in the last 6 months it has gone down to 1000 or less per month.

Something is very fishy with the data collected or the traffic in general. I was expecting 10k crashes per day post vaxx.

Re: What the hell is wrong with people's driving lately!
People have been more agitated than 2 years ago. A lot of it is too many young people are watching too much internet news. Another part is that many of them have shitty jobs. There's a lot of resentment out there.

I saw a 3 car crash in Dallas a week ago. All three cars were completely totaled and then some. I'm sure not everyone survived that disaster. The entire freeway was shut down.

Ive wrecks 3 straight days. It's bullshit. People don't stop at red lights or stop signs. And apparently yield means speed up no matter what's in front of you. Must be new driving rules I'm not familiar with

If I am not in the fast lane, I have taken to ignoring the rear view mirror unless I am changing lanes, it is just anxiety provoking to see some brain dead fuck driving 6 inches off my rear bumper. My eyes are fixed on what is in front of me, don't give a fuck how close you feel the need to get, or how fast you desire to go, not my problem. Don't look, don't care.

It's insane and it's not just on the freeway.

It's a challenge just going 2 miles to my local Safeway and back.

Then the whole ordeal of the assholes in the parking lot is exhausting.

Yeah, front and rear dash cams will have a crystal clear image if this happens. What choice do I have, go faster in the center or right lane when I am already doing 65+? Not getting cowed into reckless driving by some retard.

They love to speed up and run red lights, one almost rear ended a Honda the other day because he was tailgaiting and had to run off into the other lane when the light turned red. Never saw a big truck stop so fast.

Re: What the hell is wrong with people's driving lately!
It's the proliferation of One Car Length Assholes or OCLA's. They don't care about anything except getting one car length ahead of you. They don't care about your life or even their life....the ONLY thing that matters to them is getting one care length ahead. The Leftist shithole I live in is filled with them. The unwritten speed limit in my town is 15mph over whatever is posted....at least.

And BMW drivers are NOT the worst. It's the people driving cars like Nissans, Honda's, Mitsubishi's, Toyota's....the lower cost cars that have somewhat decent performance. They're out there trying to prove to the people driving nicer cars like BMW's, Audi's, Mercedes, that their car is just as good & just as fast as them. Or so it appears anyway to me.

Either that or these people all happen to be chronically late at all times!
