Has anyone else noticed that people are driving crazy lately and does anyone else get scared or nervous when they drive?

[KateDemee]

I think people are driving crazy lately

Why are people driving more crazy lately?

But also I wondered if anyone else here gets nervous or scared when they drive like not confident?

[ManOnFire]

Curious question, because there tends to be a lot of bad driving in my area. In fact I saw one accident in action this morning, and yesterday I drove by one, on the same road I had come down earlier. One of the biggest problems is because so many people look at their phones while driving - even on the highway, and I cannot understand it for the life of me. I never do that. Driving is a serious thing for me and I do it as safely as possible.

I also notice bad driving seems to spike around Christmas time too. Not sure if that's just me or there really is something to it or not.

Yes, people are horrible drivers especially at places like Walmart and this one Woman never gave this Access Van driver a chance to pull out with me as a client on the Van she came to the Van and said, Sir could you please move, and he said to me, she was in hurry to go nowhere yes people don't care about a Van with a disabled person they have no respect for no one but themselves that is why they die early deaths because in a hurry to go nowhere wow Walmart was crazy with drivers today after I did Christmas grocery shopping. I could not wait to I got home, it was ridiculous, and people don't care if the other person has the right away.

Driving crazy lately. Most people have been driving like this for years now.

[FunkyMonkee]

One of the biggest reasons I don't wanna drive is because people today are too busy talking on their fucking cell phones to drive and I'm not the least bit interested in becoming just another statistic or stain on the street because of it! Either pull off the fucking road and park and then take you call or let the machine get it!

It seems there are a lot more people on the roads this time of year and all in a rush.

I don't generally get scared or nervous other than if the conditions are bad, like heavy rain/fog or very slippery roads.

[MysticDevice]

Not lately, but always. Thay's why I got a dashcam just in case anything happens.

I've never been too scared to drive though. I really love driving so I don't let others ruin it for me.

I always thought if there's a crash then there's a crash. I can get a new car then

Nobody uses turn signals, people are screwing with their phones at red lights and the drive way too slow.

[Fireguy17]

Oh ya, that is why Emergency Services will never go out of business.

Spend a week driving in Cape Town, South Africa. All other drivers will seem sedate, same and safe by comparison.

And I've driven in Italy. Those guys are crazy...

[ThrillSeeker01]

Could be people are more easy to anger, in general. I've found there's more angry people around than there used to be.

[LiamJHayden]

Where I live enough people drive like utter idiots that being concerned is the only rational position.

[Friendlybro79]

Since Covid restrictions were lifted I have noticed people are driving so much worse than I have ever seen. I would love to see more people lose their privilege to drive. Some of the erratic driving is terribly scary.

[trellbrown84]

yes. purchased my first used car from a coworker and so far, I've been doing pretty good. planning an 880 mile road trip this Friday and hope i get there in one piece

[syncheart]

I have trouble with my driving, so I only drive to few places that are close to me. I haven't noticed anyone acting any different.

[andreasderjuengere]

Apparently, you have not been to Thailand yet.

YOUR traffic is extremely tame :D

[loveslongnails]

Lots of people have always been crazy drivers. This is nothing new. I grew up in a big city and like every big city, it's a free for all.

[Nice222]

Yes I have noticed that. I watched a guy pull out of a parking lot cut me off nearly hitting me and then proceeded to run through two red lights almost causing accidents.

[dreamstar72]

Because of ownership of the roads

[shortster]

People always drive crazy.

[ChiTown33]

Nope.
