Yeah, it didn’t used to be this bad. Covid seems to have wiped out everyone’s ability to drive. Stay safe out there, and just assume every car is going to run a red or a stop sign for safety.

I don't think covid has much to do with it. I think not enforcing a single traffic violation for a decade probably does though.

I definitely think that accelerated it, but I still think the root of the problem is there being zero consequences for your actions when in control of a 3 ton metal weapon.
