Why are we having so many car vs. house crashes?

[exitseven]

In the last few weeks there has been a spike in cars crashing into houses. It is not just happening on Saturday night either. You could be sitting in your living room watching TV when suddenly you have an unexpected visitor and they don't even bother to knock.

What's on the tube?

I've noticed a whole lot more people watching entire movies and series on their phones...

if even something like this... has become more normal to glue ourselves to our phones... I would suspect that it is also present while driving

The cars are mad about the switch to public transportation.

We get a lot in the UK too. I can see how it happens on winding country roads where the housewall touches the road and the speed limit is 60mph but a lot of them seem to be in places there's no logical reason you'd lose control.

Looking at a few cases I'm seeing the words early morning/evening used a lot and spring/autumn seems to be a popular time. I wonder if it's because the sun is low in the sky now and the glare is blinding drivers.

that could be happening.

My mom lives on a sharp bend in a road in a rural part of our county. Young people driving too fast lose control and leave the roadway, coming to rest in her front yard. Fortunately, she has a few stout and hearty trees in her front yard that protect her home from impact with any of these daredevil drivers' vehicles.

Slow news cycle.
It’s highly unlikely that there are more crashes happening. It’s much more likely that the news is just covering it more frequently because there is nothing else and their BS generator is in the fritz because they are constantly overworking it.

Some people are very reckless driving under influence all the time.. and now it’s more

People on drugs and drinking alcohol!!

I went on a date only one time and he told me that he quit drinking alcohol because he was drunk and his car ended up in someone's house. It happens!

People watching/recording "funny" Tic-Tac videos while driving?

Every incident has a different explanation as to why it happened.

Probably cause of some drunk drivers.
