It's awful here, even for a pretty small city. It's kind of like it got worse during covid. Getting back on the road and people driving worse than ever.
You really do have to drive defensively to help save your own life.
I was thinking before your last paragraph that the numbers were big, even if the percentages didn't sound so big, but the fact that so many of them were avoidable. It truly had been awful since so many cell phones showed up. Everybody thinks THEY are good at it and are not causing any problems, but they do, while others try to dodge them while they aren't paying attention.
There should be some extra penalty to some of it I'm thinking.
I really love that photo BTW.
Yep, awful sums it up here too, dangerous as well. Defensive driving is the only way to go, although having to do so, be so vigilant, takes out the enjoyment I guess, for me anyway.
So many of the issues, either deaths or injuries and even minor bingles, are easily avoided but there's so many assholes out there the issue just gets worse and worse.
Thanks for liking the image, I'm not sure if you recall but I did the lifecycle of a flower post and this was obviously the end of the cycle.
