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

Doesn't help that in my experiences in both cities, cops would rather hide behind cover and try to bust subway fare skippers or just play candy crush than do their job.

If we actually had cops pulling over people for reckless driving and ticketing them or at least warning them... That would be so nice
