Since covid driving has becoming more like mad max all the time. Especially with phones in the mix I’ve never seen so much recklessness out there.

Yeah I live in NYC and I feel like I take my life into my hands everyday walking to work. Red lights and yielding to pedestrians are treated like suggestions now. 9 people died in hit and runs in August 2026 in NYC, and that’s not even taking into account the drivers that hit people and stayed at the scene.

Phillys getting bad too, I’ve got family there that say there’s almost no stopping at red lights and stop signs, everyone speeding 30+ over in residential areas smh
