    I keep waiting for new car accident/fatality rate data to see if it has kept trending upwards since 2022 tbh

      You know I've seen people say that people's driving got like significantly worse since the pandemic began / whatever extent to which lockdowns happened in their area. I only learned to drive this year so I can't say for sure, but I do frequently see people just straight up trying to die in their cars. Like an eighth of the people I glance at in their cars are driving along with a phone in their hand. The other day somebody zoomed past me at like 55mph in a 35 over double yellow lines on a blind corner. I was certain I was about to watch some people die.
