I've notice terrible driving as well.

On the right appears to be the default way to pass a car
There are only two options when driving: 1) foot on the gas or 2) foot on the brake.

However, the real evidence of a cognitive issue (vaxx related?) to me is how many drivers look no farther than the bumper of the car in front of them. This is the case on interstate highways as well as local streets. Apparently, they are hypnotized by it...to the exclusion of all else going on around them. All manner of evils derive from this one practice alone.

Agreed. I've also noticed that there appears to be no speed limit on my local turnpikes either. There's a POSTED limit, allegedly "No Tolerance", of 75 mph. However, every time I drive on that Autobahn of Asininity, people pass me like I'm standing still.

I once tried to keep pace with an obnoxious moron in a Toyota Corolla, just as an experiment. But after a couple of miles at 95 mph, I decided to find the nearest exit and finish the trip on back-roads.

Agreed. I think everyone should have to take an advanced driving course before a license is issued. Expensive, but do you want to drive or not?

And they work, and are a heckuva lot of fun.

Re: driving in the era post Notavax...

In the past week alone, I have come upon the aftermath of two major accidents within just 3-4 blocks of my house. Note that within the last 15+ years I have lived here, I have seen maybe 3 major accidents within the city streets around me (not counting freeways, where it's much more common). So just yesterday I couldn't get close enough to see specifically what had happened, but I can tell you it required 2 firetrucks and 2 ambulances and an unknown quantity of police cars.

Last Thursday, I came up on an intersection where one car ended up sitting on its truck with its nose pointing up a telephone pole, and I think at least two other cars involved. The police were putting yellow tape up around the entire intersection and when I came back through the intersection about 4 and a half hours later, it was still closed and the wrecker had just arrived, which indicated to me that the coroner had been there most of the afternoon.

Then 2 months ago, just 1 block from my house at another intersection, I came across another major wreck with an SUV flipped upside down onto its roof. These are all city streets with speed limits of 35 - 45 mph.

So be careful at intersections and lights. I think people are just plowing through red lights.

That's why we don't have hood ornaments anymore.

Too much entertainment for idiots.
