I knew I wasn't tripping when I felt there was more reckless driving nowadays. I just saw an accident yesterday where a car slammed into the back of another vehicle. All I could think about was what if my daughter was in the car with me and that shyt happened to us. People are driving way too fast and are too distracted. Its getting dangerous out here.
Pedestrian Deaths Spike in U.S. as Reckless Driving Surges
"Fatalities are climbing to record levels two years into the pandemic. Authorities cite drivers’ anxiety levels, larger vehicles and fraying social norms.
ALBUQUERQUE — After a festive evening spent viewing a display of holiday lights, Aditya Bhattacharya and his family were crossing a street to head home.
Then a driver blew past a red light, slamming into him and his 7-year-old son, Pronoy.
“I took one step, that’s the last thing I remember,” said Mr. Bhattacharya, 45. “When I regained consciousness, all I could hear was my wife sitting on the sidewalk, screaming, ‘Pronoy’s dead.’”
The boy’s death at an Albuquerque crosswalk in December, and the seven-week manhunt to find the driver, jolted many people in this part of the West to the grim count of pedestrian deaths, which began surging in New Mexico and other states in 2020.
Two years into the pandemic, such fatalities are soaring into record territory amid a nationwide flare-up in reckless driving. In various initiatives to reverse the trends, authorities in one state after another are citing factors from the rise in anxiety levels and pandemic drinking to the fraying of social norms."
