Right?? I cannot believe how unpredictable other drivers have become. I wonder if it’s an after effect of the lock downs or if it’s stress induced.

It’s pretty bad. Worst I’ve seen since I started driving. I think a lot of people are stressed out anymore, I certainly am. However, I try to not drive like an asshole. In fact, I’ve really tried to be a more cautious driver.

They are pretty predictable - they are going to blow through that stop sign even though I am already in the crosswalk.

I can’t believe how entitled drivers have become!!! Just because there is a road and u r in a car, does NOT mean u have the right of way any which way, all the time bc pedestrians are on foot and the “road is meant for cars, after all, and u have responsibility to try to avoid being hit by one.” I am citing what one woman told me when I had similar scuffle on-line few months ago on the topic. (I was banned from the chat, people were up ganging up on me siding with that woman!) bc they could not accept my statement that drivers are responsible for making sure they don’t hit anyone while driving. (Apparently if it is night, dusk, bad weather and u are not wearing or having ur kid wear a flashing leash (wtf is that?) or if the child dashes (like dashes the road to get on the school bus), everyone felt it would be the parent’s fault and not the driver—who has the right of way with this all being a “road accident”) So I am glad I am seeing these comments bc I fing don’t think I should be putting a fuing “flashing leash” on my child for having him cross a street to get on a school bus.

When was the last time you moved? I've been in some states where you might get a ticket but they always "know somebody" who can get it fixed.
